title: [The efficacy of combined general anesthesia with electroacupuncture analgesia in abdominal surgery in patients with concurrent massive obesity].
abstract: Combined anesthesia and electroacupuncture analgesia (EAA) were performed in 48 obese patients. Control group (50 patients) was subject to surgery under combined anesthesia with drugs for neuroleptanalgesia, calipsol and nitrous oxide. Stability of hemodynamics, glycemia level, esophagus and skin temperature gradient, minute diuresis during EAA, as well as absence of respiratory depression and postoperative adaptation mechanisms inhibition have been observed. EAA made it possible to do without narcotic analgesics and drugs for neuroleptanalgesia during surgery in obese patients and promoted early activation of patients in the postanesthesia period, normalization of lung ventilation and lower incidence of postoperative complications.
