TAES Improve the Function of Respiration and Circulation on Elderly Patients Undergoing Colonoscopy Procedure

February 15, 2019 updated by: RenJi Hospital

Transcutaneous Acupoint Electrical Stimulation Improve the Function of Respiration and Circulation on Elderly Patients Undergoing Colonoscopy Procedure:A Randomized-controlled Trial

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.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Intervention / Treatment

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.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Placebo Comparator: Group 1 sedation group

Elderly patients under colonoscopy with sedation, but no real TAES neiguan(pc6)

sedation is using the typical protocol for the following: Slowly peripheral intravenous injection(0.5ml/s) of fentanyl 50μg, then followed with 1.5-2.5mg/kg propofol until loss of eyelash reflex, the Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale (OAAS) score Level3-5.

TAES over acupuncture point neiguan (pericardium 6) for 20min, placebo group only stick the stimulate electrode but no frequency and intensity
Experimental: Group 2 sedation+TAES group

Elderly patients under colonoscopy both have TAES neiguan(pc6) and sedation.

sedation is begun followed TAES. sedation is same as group2 do. TAES is same as group3 do.

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

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The percentage of oxygen saturation
Time Frame: from 20min before lay down to 24hours after performance
The percentage of oxygen saturation between the sedation alone and sedation+TAES have at least 2 difference
from 20min before lay down to 24hours after performance
