Summary

In this interventional clinical trial, researchers will administer electroacupuncture versus sham electroacupuncture to sepsis patients with ARDS and collect objective outcome measures. The study will be divided into 2 groups. The EA group will receive electroacupuncture and the SHAM-EA group will receive sham electroacupuncture. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of electroacupuncture on the synthesis of SPMs in sepsis patients with ARDS.

Conditions

• Sepsis
• Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	electroacupuncture treatment	Patients received acupuncture on both sides of the Zusanli (ST36) acupuncture points, and after "Deqi ", the needle was connected to an electro-acupuncture device (Hwato, Suzhou Medical ). The EA stimulation lasted for 30 min.
DEVICE	sham electroacupuncture treatment	The participants in the SHAM-EA group performed shallow punctures at the bilateral non-acupuncture points, did not perform the "Deqi" operation, and were connected to the electroacupuncture stimulator but not energized.
