Abstract
Objective: To study and analyze the clinical effect of electroacupuncture at Baihui and Neiguan Points on cognitive function recovery of elderly patients after general anesthesia. Methods: The subjects were 80 elderly patients who received general anesthesia from January 2019 to February 2021. According to different anesthesia methods, they were divided into research group (electroacupuncture at Baihui and Neiguan combined with conventional drug anesthesia) and control group (simple drug anesthesia). The postoperative cognitive function recovery of the two groups was observed and compared. Results: Compared with the control group, the MMSE score and POCD incidence of research group were significantly better. There was significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Conclusion electroacupuncture at Baihui and Neiguan combined with conventional drug anesthesia can promote the recovery of cognitive function and prevent cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients under general anesthesia.
