Objective To observe the effect of transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation(TAES)of Zusanli(ST 36)on gastrointestinal activities in organophosphorus pesticide poisoning(OPP)patients undergoing emergency treatment so as to explore its action in scavenging gastrointestinal toxicant.Methods A total of 116 OPP patients were randomly divided into control group and TAES group(n=58in each group)according to the simple random sampling method.All the patients received comprehensive treatment including gastric lavage
catharsis
oral administration of atropine Pralidoxime Chloride
Omeprazole
etc.For patients of the TAES group
TAES stimulation(30Hz/60 Hz
15-20mA)was applied to bilateral Zusanli(ST 36)for 30 min
3times a day till black stool was discharged.The vomiting times after catharsis
the time of the first defecation and black stool discharge
the dosage of atropine and the length of patient stay in hospital were recorded.Results Of the two 58 cases of OPP patients in the control and TAES groups
11(18.9%)and 3(5.2%)underwent vomiting after catharsis
being significantly lower in the TAES group(P<0.05).Compared with the control group
the time of first defecation and black stool discharge
the dosage of the administrated atropine and the time of hospitalization were significantly lower in the TAES group(P<0.05).Conclusion TAES of ST 36 may lower incidence of emesis
enhance the cathartic effect
promote gastrointestinal poison discharge
reduce total atropine dosage and shorten the hospitalization time in OPP patients
