title: [Electroacupuncture stimulation in the treatment of postoperative disorders of the motor-evacuatory function of the stomach and intestines].
abstract: One hundred and eight patients with gastric ulcer subjected to planned and urgent surgery have been treated for postoperative gastric atonia and intestinal paresis using electroacupuncture stimulation (EAPS). The treatment was effective in 85% of cases, with the efficacy confirmed by clinical results and gastroenterologic findings. EAPS promoted a decrease in the initially high blood levels of cortisol, aldosterone and histamine, an increase in serotonin and a reduction in gastric juice histamine levels, which were indicative of the analgetic and antihistamine EAPS effect and attenuation of parasympathetic activity. EAPS introduction into a complex of postoperative rehabilitation procedures led to reduction of drug doses or total drug replacement, early activation of surgical patients and prompt recovery of normal gastrointestinal evacuation.
