RESUMO
Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of quantified acupuncture in treating patients with post-operative paralytic ileus after 3-day invalid treatment of Western medicine. Method The patients with post-operative paralytic ileus were divided into two groups. The treatment group was intervened by quantified acupuncture, while the control group was by ordinary acupuncture, and the clinical efficacies were observed after 3-day treatment. Result In the treatment group, 31 cases were recovered, 3 showed marked effect, 1 showed effective, 3 failed in the treatment, and the total effective rate was 92.1%; in the control group, 19 cases were recovered, 4 showed marked effect, 4 showed effective, 11 didn’t respond to the treatment, and the total effective rate was 71.1%. In the treatment group, the restored time of bowel sounds after operation, initial anal exhaust time, and initial defecation time were respectively (6.8±1.7)h, (16.6±2.2)h, and (29.3±4.7)h, versus (10.5±2.0)h, (30.4±2.8)h, and (48.4±4.3)h in the control group, and the between-group differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared to ordinary acupuncture, quantified acupuncture can produce a more significant efficacy, and it’s one of the effective methods in treating post-operative paralytic ileus.
