简要总结

  • Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the most common causes of patient dissatisfaction after anaesthesia. It has an incidence of about 30 % in all post-surgical patients and upto 80 % in high-risk patients.
  • Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) over P6 acupoint (Nei Guan or Pericardium 6) has been reported to reduce the incidence of PONV. This acupoint is located in between the tendons of palmaris longus and flexor carpi radialis, 4 cm proximal to the distal wrist crease and 1 cm below the skin.
  • In this study, we will aim to determine the efficacy of peri-operative P6 acupoint stimulation via TENS in the prevention of PONV in female patients undergoing short duration ( less than 2 hours ), laparoscopic gynaecological surgeries.
  • A total of 114 patients with 57 patients in each group will be enrolled for the study. Patients will be explained about the study and written informed consent shall be taken.
  • After induction of general anaesthesia, patients will receive either transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation over P6 acupoint, or pharmacologic PONV prophylaxis using IV Ondansetron, as per their allocated group.
  • We will be comparing and assessing the incidence of PONV in the early post-operative period ( 0-6 hours after surgery ) between the group receiving P6 acupoint stimulation and the group receiving intra-venous ondansetron intra-operatively.
  • The severity of post-operative nausea and vomiting and the amount of anti-emetics required in the early post-operative period (0-6 hours) by patients in the two groups will be compared.
  • This study will be conducted in the Department of Anaesthesiology, Maulana Azad Medical College and associated Lok Nayak Hospital, New Delhi over a period of 12 months ( 1 year )
  • The study is a single-blinded, randomised, active-controlled study.
