Summary

This is a single center, randomized, double-blinded, controlled clinical trial.The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of TEAS pretreatment with single acupoint or two acupoints for postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing laparoscopic operation.

Detailed description

Patients were randomly assigned to four groups, receiving TEAS 30 minutes before induction.The stimulation was applied until the end of the operation. Postoperative nausea and vomiting was recorded 30 minute, 2 hour, 6 hour and 24 hour after the operation. The adverse events were recorded as well.
