Official Title: Effects of Transcutaneous Acupoint Electrical Stimulation on Intestinal Obstruction After Gastrointestinal Surgery in Adults:Single-Blinded, Randomised Controlled Trial

Brief Summary: Postoperative intestinal obstruction is one of the most common complication of gastrointestinal surgery, some research have confirmed that transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TEAS) can promote recovery of gastrointestinal function, reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, our goal is to investigate the effectiveness of TEAS in reducing the incidence of gastrointestinal obstruction after operation in perioperative.

Detailed Summary: Participants will be randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to receive TEAS or Blank treatment (acupoints selection are same with the experimental group, connect stimulator for patients, but not don't give stimulus). The randomization sequence will be computer-generated, and randomization will be performed in blocks and will be stratified according to participating center. TEAS will be treated from 30 minutes before anesthesia induction, ending when teh operation complete. Time of first fart and food-taking ,time of have normal diet after the transplantation will be recorded. The participation of each patient is scheduled for 30 days.

Current Primary Outcome: postoperative intestinal obstruction [ Time Frame: 72 hours after surgery ]

people don't consume any food or fart in 72 hours after surgery


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery [ Time Frame: once a week for 30 days after surgery ]
    the time of postoperative exhaustion and defecation.
  • adverse reactions of digestive after surgery [ Time Frame: once a week for 30 days after surgery ]
    the incidence and score of distention, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting after surgery.
  • postoperative pain [ Time Frame: 1-3 days after surgery ]
    scores on a visual analog pain and the use of analgesics
  • surgery complications [ Time Frame: once a week for 30 days after surgery ]
    wound infection ,pneumonia, anastomotic leakage,urethritis,uroschesis
  • recovery index [ Time Frame: once a week for 30 days after surgery ]
    the leaving bed time,post-operative hospitalization duration and expenses,quality-of-life in 30 days after surgery.


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
