Effects of cheek needle therapy assisted with general anesthesia on patients after uterine fibroid removal surgery
Objective To observe the effect of cheek acupuncture therapy assisted with general anesthesia on gastrointestinal reactions after uterine fibroid removal surgery.Methods 134 patients with uterine fibroids were selected as the study subjects,all of whom received uterine fibroid removal surgery under general anesthesia.They were randomly divided into two groups,with 67 cases in each group.The control group were received adjuvant therapy with aromatherapy after surgery.The experimental group were received cheek acupuncture therapy as an auxiliary treatment.The perioperative basic physical signs,analgesic and sedative effects,postoperative gastrointestinal reactions,physical and mental state improvement,and surgical stress were compared between the two groups of patients.Results Under different anesthesia regimens,the HR and MAP of the experimental group at T2 and T3 were lower than those of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The VAS and INVR scores of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group at 1 and 3 h after surgery,while the RSS and GCQ scores were higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of postoperative gastrointestinal reactions in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The norepinephrine(NE)and cortiso(Cor)of the experimental group T4 were lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Buccal needle therapy assisted with general anesthesia can stabilize the basic signs of patients undergoing uterine fibroid removal surgery during the perioperative period,enhance the analgesic and sedative effects of anesthesia,reduce the risk of gastrointestinal reactions,improve physical and mental health,and alleviate surgical stress reactions,all of which have positive significance.
