Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To assess the function of respiratory and circulation before precondition, during colonoscopy and end of the procedure, blood cortisol and catecholamine levels were measured also.The incidence of airway support, application of vasoactive drug or atropine during procedure were recorded in the meantime.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1 sedation group

Elderly patients under colonoscopy with sedation, but no real TAES neiguan(pc6)

sedation is using the typical protocol for the following: Slowly peripheral intravenous injection(0.5ml/s) of fentanyl 50μg, then followed with 1.5-2.5mg/kg propofol until loss of eyelash reflex, the Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale (OAAS) score Level3-5.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

TAES

Intervention Type DEVICE

TAES over acupuncture point neiguan (pericardium 6) for 20min, placebo group only stick the stimulate electrode but no frequency and intensity

Group 2 sedation+TAES group

Elderly patients under colonoscopy both have TAES neiguan(pc6) and sedation.

sedation is begun followed TAES. sedation is same as group2 do. TAES is same as group3 do.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

TAES

Intervention Type DEVICE
