Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy, Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting
Conditions
Brief summary
PONV is the most common clinical presentation after surgical procedures beyond pain. A retrospective study of our center found that the postoperative incidence of LSG was 77.4%. PONV can not only cause postoperative discomfort, but also cause serious complications such as disturbance water and electrolyte balance, wound splitting, incisional hernia, and even residual gastric leakage and aspiration pneumonia, resulting in prolonged hospital stay and increased medical costs. Wrist and ankle acupuncture is a special kind of acupuncture therapy. Through subcutaneous stimulation, the electrical signal is fed back along the nerve fiber into the cerebral cortex, without dialectical treatment, and only needs the appropriate symptoms and signs of the patient. Although only in the wrist and ankle, it can solve a series of problems in the whole body, especially nausea, vomiting and pain symptoms.
Detailed description
Patients scheduled for female sleeve gastric surgery were selected, and the trial was designed into the control group (n=33) and the intervention group (33). The intervention group was based on the control group, combined with the intervention of the wrist and ankle acupuncture, namely, the wrist and ankle acupuncture treatment was started 1 day before the surgery. Take up and down 1,2 area as a needle point, use hua tuo brand sterile acupuncture needle (specification: 0.25mm 25mm), into the skin disinfection into the needle, keep 30 subcutaneous needle and skin, when the operator under the needle, patients without acid swelling, pain, close to the skin dermis, to about 1.5 inches, give tape fixed 24h, left under the skin, until postoperative 3 day.
Interventions
OTHERWrist and ankle acupuncture

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from Baseline pain at 24 hours after surgery | Change from Baseline pain at 24 hours after surgery | Using Visual Analogue Scale of Pain (VASP), a score 0 represents no significant pain in the past time period; a score 1-3 represents mild pain that does not affect sleep; a score 4-6 means moderate pain that slightly affects sleep; and a score 7-10 represents severe pain leading to poor sleep or painful awakening from sleep |
| Change from Baseline nausea and vomitting at 24 hours after surgery | Change from Baseline nausea and vomitting at 24 hours after surgery | PONV was scored using the Visual Nausea analog core (Visual Analog Scale of Nausea, VASN).0 represents no significant nausea and vomiting in the past period; 1-3 represents mild PONV does not affect sleep; 4-6 represents moderate PONV slightly affects sleep; and 7-10 represents severe PONV causes failed to sleep. The simplified PONV impact scale was used while performing the VASN score. The assessment of PONV severity was performed to ensure the objectivity of the outcome measures evaluation. The simplified questionnaire consisted of 2 questions, each with the corresponding score, scoring 5 points defined as clinically significant PONV |
Secondary
