Core Tip

Core Tip: Two hundred patients scheduled for painless colonoscopy were selected and divided into wrist-ankle acupuncture group (n = 100) and control group ( n = 100). The operation time, recovery time, incidence of nausea and vomiting, incidence of abdominal distension, pain after colonoscopy, satisfaction of examiners, satisfaction of patients and Borg fatigue index were recorded. The results showed that ankle acupuncture can reduce the induction dose and total dose of propofol, reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions of painless colonoscopy and does not affect the satisfaction of examiners and patients.
