Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

In this prospective randomized controlled trial, the subjects will be assigned to group transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) and group control (no intervention). The postoperative outcomes including NIHSS (National Institute of Health stroke scale) score, morbidity and mortality will be evaluated during hospital stay and by one year after surgery.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation

Electrodes are placed at acupoints and connected to the stimulator. Electrical stimulation is given during surgery.

Device: transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation
Electrodes are placed at acupoints and connected to the stimulator. Electrical stimulation is given during surgery.
Other Names:
  • TEAS
  • No Intervention: Control

    Electrodes are placed at acupoints and connected to the stimulator. But no stimulation is given during surgery.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. number of patients with major in-hospital postoperative complications [from end of surgery to discharge from hospital, in an average of 7 days]

      major complications include myocardial infarction, heart failure, respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, cerebral infarction, delirium and coma

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. mortality by 30 days after surgery [from end of surgery to 30 days after surgery, in a total of 30 days]

    2. NIHSS by 30 days after surgery [from end of surgery to 30 days after surgery, in a total of 30 days]

      National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS ), of which minimum and maximum values are 0 and 42 respectively, and higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    3. mortality by 3 months after surgery [from end of surgery to 3 months after surgery, in a total of 3 months]

    4. number of patients with major postoperative complications by 3 months after surgery [from end of surgery to 3 months after surgery, in a total of 3 months]

      major complications include myocardial infarction, heart failure, respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, cerebral infarction, delirium and coma

    5. mortality by 6 months after surgery [from end of surgery to 6 months after surgery, in a total of 6 months]

    6. number of patients with major postoperative complications by 6 months after surgery [from end of surgery to 6 months after surgery, in a total of 6 months]

      major complications include myocardial infarction, heart failure, respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, cerebral infarction, delirium and coma

    7. duration of postoperative in-hospital stay [from end of surgery to discharge from hospital, in an average of 7 days]

    8. serum interleukin-6 level at the end of the surgery [at end of the surgery]

    9. serum tumor necrosis factor-α level at the end of the surgery [at end of the surgery]

    10. episodes of hypotension during surgery [from start of surgery to end of surgery, in an average of 2 hours]

      hypotension is defined as mean arterial pressure decreased by more than 20% of the baseline and persisting more than 1 minute
