ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate whether acupuncture can prevent postoperative nauseaand vomiting (PONV)in patients received breast surgery. Methods Two hundred and forty patients were randomly divided into the acupuncture group and the control group. Patients in the acupuncture group were treated at bilateral Hegu (L4) and Neiguan (P6) after surgery. Patients in the control group received no any interventions. The occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, the number of complete remission and the remedial treatment were record ed. Results The incidences of nausea and vomiting in the acupuncture group were lower than those in the control group from 2 h to 6 h post-operation, with less need of remedy treatment (P < 0.05, respectively). Conclusion Acupuncture in preventing nausea and vomiting after breast surgery owns a certain value in the early postoperative (6 h) stage, with effectively reducing the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the acupuncture effect on urinary retention after spinal anesthesia.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>One hundred and fifty-four patients with spinal anesthesia were randomized into an observation group (80 cases) and a control group (74 cases). In the observation group, the electroacupuncture was applied to bilateral Fushe (SP 13) and Shuidao (ST 28); 2 Hz/50 Hz, retaining for 30 min. One treatment was required. In the control group, no any intervention was applied after operation. The incidence of the postoperative urinary retention, the time of the first automatic micturition since 30 min after spinal anesthesia, the volume of the first micturition, the postoperative urine condition, the lower abdominal distention, incomplete urination and the others were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The incidence of urinary retention in the observation group was lower than that in the control group; the first automatic micturition in 30 min after spinal anesthesia was earlier than that in the control group; the comfortable urination rate was higher than that in the control group; the incidence of incomplete urination and lower abdominal distention were lower than those in the control group. The differences were significant in comparison of the two groups (all P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Acupuncture apparently shortens the time of first automatic micturition after spinal anesthesia and promotes the recovery of bladder urinary reflection. This therapy acts on promoting urination and reducing postoperative urinary retention.</p>

Objective To investigate the related factors for postoperative urinary retention in patients with intrathecal anesthesia. Methods Collect 230 patients of orthopaedic surgery with intrathecal anesthesia in our hospital from June 2012 to June 2013. Prospective analysis the related factors of postoperative urinary retention in patients with intrathecal anesthesia. Results 48 cases have postoperative urinary retention from 230 patients of orthopaedic surgerywith intrathecal anesthesia. Difference of urinary retention group and unurinary retention group is statistically significant (P 0.05) in Sex, body mass index, smoking history, the mode of anesthesia Age, operation time, intraoperative rehydration, anesthetic dosage ≥11.25 mg and postoperative analgesia are the risk factors of postoperative urinary retention with multiariable Logistic regression analysis. The urine excretion before anesthesia are protective factors. Conclusion postoperative urinary retention with intrathecal anesthesia is many factors caused by a temporary performance of bladder dysfunction , Perioperative appropriate management (minimize anesthetic doses, shorten the operation time, control intraoperatie rehydration , preoperative try to drain urine ) can reduce the occurrence of postoperative urinary retention.
