Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In the prone position or head lower in the surgery, the facial edema likely to occur due to the influence of gravity. In addition, since the infusion amount is increased by long surgery time, prone to facial edema. When the facial edema occurs, the patient may feel a cosmetically burden. Because the airways become swollen, there is a risk of difficulty in breathing. There is a possibility that the visual impairment due to eye edema occurs. There are reports of facial edema is reduced by stimulation of LI4 and ST36, but the mechanism is not clear, it is statistically not been studied. In the present study, we statistically evaluate facial edema is suppressed by the electrical stimulus to LI4 and ST36.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The head perimeter is measured before and after surgery. The face and reference scale is captured. Then, the face area is compared before and after surgery. Evaluation of eye edema and eyelid edema is evaluated in four stages on the basis of the clinical evaluation criteria of allergic conjunctival disease of Japanese Ophthalmological Society.

Key secondary outcomes

We also ask patients about discomfort, vision, and respiratory difficulty.

Interventions/Control_1

In the electrical stimulation group was sterilized in a total of four locations of the left and right Hegu hole and Zusanli hole electrode fixed with tape. Hegu hole is first hand, take from the second metacarpal bone between the second metacarpal bone. Foot Sanriana take on the outside of the tibia outer surface in 4 duty under finger down from the patella outer lower edge. Attach the lead of the electrical stimulation device (manufactured by Nippon Medix) to the electrodes, where the muscle in the vicinity starts the power electrode could be confirmed the movement (twitch) to be jerks, fixed the amount of current (40mArms below), the energization continue. Thereafter, the general anesthesia of the usual administration of the muscle relaxant. Except when the repositioning will continue to energization. After completion of surgery, it is pulled out of the finished electrode energization before awakening

Results

Patient characteristics were simular.
The difference before and after operation was significantly smaller in the ACP group compared to control group in chin to mndible edge, head circumstance at eye level, and head circumstance at the maxillary level.
