Core Tip
Core Tip: The article focuses on the application effect of Meridian flow injection acupoint application combined with transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TAES) in patients undergoing gastroenteroscopic surgery. When compared with conventional postoperative interventions, it was found that Meridian flow injection acupoint application combined with TAES could significantly shorten the time to first bowel movement, feeding time and hospital stay, improve gastrointestinal hormone levels, reduce stress response, improve patient satisfaction and reduce the incidence of complications. The trial confirmed the safety and efficacy of this combination therapy.
