Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Meet the diagnostic criteria of Sepsis 3.0: there is evidence of infection and the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is =2 points. 2. Combined with acute gastrointestinal dysfunction (AGI), meeting any of the following conditions: According to the AGI grading standard (2016 version), reaching grade II or above (risk or early manifestation of gastrointestinal dysfunction and failure). Clinical manifestations: symptoms of gastrointestinal motility disorders such as abdominal distension, vomiting, weakened or disappeared bowel sounds, increased gastric residual volume (>200 ml) lasting for = 24 hours. 3. Patients should be included in the study within 48-72 hours after sepsis diagnosis. 4. Have not received electroacupuncture treatment or other traditional Chinese medicine interventions for gastrointestinal dysfunction. 5.
