“…36 However, P6 stimulation was ineffective in minimizing PONV in children following tonsillectomy and strabismus surgery. [37][38][39] Similarly, acupressure has been ineffective in cases of urological endoscopic surgery and pregnancy. 40,41 In summary we compared acupressure with ondansetron and placebo for the prevention of PONV in adult patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.…”

P Pu ur rp po os se e: : To compare the efficacy of acupressure wrist bands and ondansetron for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).M Me et th ho od ds s: : One hundred and fifty ASA I-II, patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in a randomized, prospective, double-blind and placebo-controlled study. Patients were divided into three groups of 50. Group I was the control; Group II received ondansetron 4 mg iv just prior to induction of anesthesia; in Group III acupressure wristbands were applied at the P6 points. Acupressure wrist bands were placed inappropriately in Groups I and II. The acupressure wrist bands were applied 30 min prior to induction of anesthesia and removed six hours following surgery. Anesthesia was standardized. PONV were evaluated separately as none, mild, moderate or severe within six hours of patients' arrival in the postanesthesia care unit and then at 24 hr after surgery by a blinded observer. If patients vomited more than once, they were given 4 mg ondansetron iv as the rescue antiemetic. Results were analyzed by Z test. A P value of < 0.05 was taken as significant. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : The incidence of PONV and the requirement of rescue medication were significantly lower in both the acupressure and ondansetron groups during the first six hours.C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : Acupressure at P6 causes a significant reduction in the incidence of PONV and the requirement for rescue medication in the first six hours following laparoscopic cholecystectomy, similar to that of ondansetron 4 mg iv. Objectif : Comparer l'efficacité des bandes d'acupression et de l'ondansétron comme prévention des nausées et vomissements postopératoires (NVPO). Méthode : Cent cinquante patients d'état physique ASA I-II devant subir une cholécystectomie laparoscopique ont été recrutés pour une étude prospective, randomisée et à double insu contre placebo. Ils ont été répartis en trois groupes de 50. Le groupe I a été le groupe témoin; les patients du groupe II ont reçu 4 mg iv d'ondansétron juste avant l'induction de l'anesthésie; chez les patients du groupe III, on a appliqué des bandes d'acupression aux point P6. Des bandes d'acupression ont été placées de façon inappropriée chez les patients des groupes I et II. Les bandes ont été appliquées 30 min avant l'induction

“…However, in pediatric oncology no corresponding publications exist so far. Trials on acupuncture and acupressure in children for postoperative antiemesis after tonsillectomy and strabismus correction showed no significant improvement [7,10,12,14,15]. In the USA, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) strongly support further research on the use and effectiveness of acupuncture [8].…”

“…[6][7][8][9] The main value of our study, then, would be to encourage other researchers to investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture either before or after surgery, and not actually during general anaesthesia. In the studies that found acupuncture effective, the treatment was given preoperatively.…”

Effect of Intraoperative Electroacupuncture on Postoperative Pain, Analgesic Requirements, Nausea and Sedation: A Randomised Controlled Trial

et al. 2009

Background: Acupuncture has potential value in producing analgesia in the postoperative period, but previous trials have inconsistent results. We aimed to study the effect of electroacupuncture on pain and nausea and the requirement for postoperative analgesia via patientcontrolled analgesia. Method: 107 patients who were undergoing abdominal hysterectomy or laparascopic cholecystectomy were randomised to receive either electroacupuncture (n = 56) or no additional treatment (n = 46) during the operative period. We measured the use of patient-controlled analgesia and time in recovery as well as pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and sedation. 102 patients were included in the analysis. The majority of patients were female: the laparoscopic cholecystectomy group included 10 males. Adhesive dressings were placed over all acupuncture points in both groups, to ensure blinding of patients and assessors during the recovery period.
