Respiratory Depression

Brief summary

To explore the effectiveness of transcutaneous acupuncture electrical stimulation (TAES), a non-invasive modality in improvement of the function of respiration and circulation on elder patient during colonoscopy.

Detailed description

To assess the function of respiratory and circulation before precondition, during colonoscopy and end of the procedure, blood cortisol and catecholamine levels were measured also.The incidence of airway support, application of vasoactive drug or atropine during procedure were recorded in the meantime.

Interventions

DEVICETAES

TAES over acupuncture point neiguan (pericardium 6) for 20min, placebo group only stick the stimulate electrode but no frequency and intensity
