Effect of acupoint application on nausea and vomiting after painless gastroenteroscopy
Objective To explore the effect of acupoint application on nausea and vomiting after painless gastroenteroscopy,so as to evaluate its role in alleviating discomfort symptoms after gastroenteroscopy.Methods A total of 100 patients with nausea and vomiting after painless gastroenteroscopy were divided into an observation group and a control group according to random number table method,with 50 cases in each group.The control group received routine intervention,and the observation group added acupoint application before anesthesia induction on the basis of routine intervention.Comparison was made on occurrence of nausea and vomiting at 30 min after awakening,and the hemodynamic indicators[heart rate(HR),systolic blood pressure(SBP)and diastolic blood pressure(DBP)]levels at 20 min before diagnosis and treatment,during diagnosis and treatment,and at 30 min after awakening between the two groups.Results The incidence of nausea and vomiting at 30 min after awakening in the observation group was 4.00%,which was significantly lower than 22.00% in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Comparison of HR and DBP of patients in the two groups at 20 min before diagnosis and treatment,during diagnosis and treatment,and at 30 min after awakening,there was no significant difference(P>0.05).Comparison of SBP between the two groups of patients at 20 min before diagnosis and treatment and 30 min after awakening,there was no significant difference(P>0.05),but the SBP of(109.85±13.82)mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)in the observation group during diagnosis and treatment was higher than(103.34±15.36)mm Hg in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Acupoint application is clinically valuable in reducing nausea and vomiting symptoms after painless gastroenteroscopy,and the effect on hemodynamic indicators is not significant.
