A prospective randomised trial was conducted to assess transcutaneous electrical stimulation in the management of postoperative pain and its effect on postoperative pulmonary function and respiratory complications. Consecutive patients undergoing abdominal surgery were allocated to receive transcutaneous electrical stimulation or 'sham' therapy. There was no significant difference in the amount of postoperative pain as measured by linear analogue pain scales or morphine requirements. Arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions were similar in both groups. There was no difference in the incidence of postoperative chest infection. These results do not support the use of transcutaneous electrical stimulation following abdominal surgery.
进行了一项前瞻性随机试验,以评估经皮电刺激在术后疼痛管理中的作用及其对术后肺功能和呼吸并发症的影响。连续接受腹部手术的患者被分配接受经皮电刺激或“假”治疗。通过线性模拟疼痛量表或吗啡需求量测量的术后疼痛程度在两组之间没有显著差异。两组的动脉血氧和二氧化碳分压相似。术后胸部感染的发生率没有差异。这些结果不支持在腹部手术后使用经皮电刺激。
