Abstract

We have studied the effect of auricular acupuncture on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). 100 female patients undergoing transabdominal hysterectomy were entered into the study. The patients were divided into two groups (auricular acupuncture treatment group and non-treatment group) to test the effectiveness of auricular acupuncture. acupuncture consisted of needle insertion in one ear at four points: sympathetic, stomach, shinmoon and occiput. Before the operation, the above points were punctured perpendicularly by the thumbtack-type needle, leaving its handle lying flat on the skin surface. There was no significant difference in age, weight, height and duration of anesthesia among the two groups of patients. There was a cignificant difference between the control group and auricular acupuncture treatment group in the incidence of vomiting at the first 12 h after surgery 68% and 30%, respectively, p<0.01) No noteworthy side effects fbom treatment were observed. auricular acupuncture is effective in reducing nausea and vomiting after transabdominal hysterectomy in female patients.

본 논문은 수술후 오심, 구토증에 대한 이침요법의 효과를 연구하기 위하여 시도되었다. 경희대학교 의과대학 부속병원에서 전신마취하에 복식 자궁절제술을 받기로 예정된 100명의 환자를 두 군으로 나누어 이침요법을 하지 않은 대조군과 이침요법을 시행한 실험군을 대상으로 연구를 하였다. 대상환자의 연령, 체중, 신장, 마취시간은 두 군간에 통계적으로 유의성있는 차이는 없었다. 수술후 12시간이내에 한번이라도 오심, 구역 및 구토가 발생된 환자는 대조군이 68%, 실험군이 30%으로 실험군이 대조군에 비하여 유의성있는 효과를 보였다. 이침요법에 의한 부작용은 나타나지 않았다. 이침요법은 복식 자궁절제술 후 오심, 구토를 부작용없이 예방하는데 상당한 효과가 있는 것으로 사려된다.
