Abstract:
Objective
To explore the application of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation(TEAS) combined with transverse abdominis plane block (TAP) in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP).
Methods
Sixty patients with TAPP under general anesthesia were randomly divided into the TAP group and the TEAS+TAP group, with 30 patients in each group.After TAP group anesthesia induction, bilateral TAP was performed under ultrasound guidance.TEAS+TAP group stimulated the Hegu-Zusanli point 30 minutes before anesthesia induction, and bilateral TAP was performed after anesthesia induction.The dosage of propofol and remifentanil during operation and the time of tracheal extubation after operation were recorded.Hemodynamic indexes before anesthesia (T1),operation (T2), and extubation (T3); pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Ramsay sedation score at 4, 8,12 and 24 hours after operation, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score at 48 hours after operation,time to remove catheter, time to get out of bed after operation, time to recover intestinal function and days of hospitalization.
Results
The dosage of propofol and remifentanil during operation and the extubation time after operation in the TEAS+TAP group were significantly shorter than that in the TAP group(P<0.05).Hemodynamic indexes in the TEAS+TAP group were significantly better than those in the TAP group at T2 and T3 (P<0.05).The VAS scores, Ramsay sedation score of patients in the TEAS+TAP group were lower than those in the TAP group at 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours after the operation (P<0.05), and 48 hours after the operation,the PSQI score ≤7 points was higher than those in the TAP group (P<0.05).Compared with the TAP group, the time of getting out of bed after the operation, recovery time of intestinal function and the days of hospitalization in the TEAS+TAP group were significantly shortened.
Conclusion
TEAS combined with TAP is helpful to reduce the dosage of anesthetic during operation, shorten the recovery time, reduce postoperative complications and accelerate the rapid recovery of patients.
