ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on oxidative stress induced by one-lung ventilation, lung function, and postoperative quality of recovery in patients with lung cancer.METHODS:
The participants (n = 80) were assigned to the sham group and TEAS group. TEAS on bilateral Feishu (BL13), Zusanli (ST36), and Hegu (L14) was performed 30 minutes before induction of anesthesia and continued until the end of the surgery. In the sham group, the same acupoints were selected without electrical stimulation. PaO2/FiO2, intrapulmonary shunt ratio (Qs/Qt), alveolar-arterial oxygen tension (A-aDO2), and respiratory index (RI) were calculated to evaluate lung function before one-lung ventilation (T0), 30 min after one-lung ventilation (T1), 1 h after one-lung ventilation (T2), and 10 min after resuming two-lung ventilation (T3). The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were detected to estimate oxidative stress at T0, T1, T2, and T3. Secondary outcomes included removal time of thoracic drainage tube, duration of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, length of postoperative hospitalization, the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, and the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) score on postoperative day 1 and 2.RESULTS:
TEAS significantly increased PaO2/FiO2 at T1 and T2, while Qs/Qt, A-aDO2, and RI decreased remarkably from T1 to T3 (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, TEAS obviously decreased MDA and increased SOD activity at T2 and T3 (P < 0.05). Furthermore, TEAS also markedly shortened the length of ICU stay and hospital stay after surgery, whereas the QoR-15 score on postoperative day 1 and 2 was significantly higher (P < 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
TEAS could reduce oxidative lung injury during one-lung ventilation, thereby protecting pulmonary function and effectively accelerating the early recovery of patients with lung cancer. TRIAL REGISTRATION Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2000038243).Palabras clave
