Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effect of Jiaweisinisan tsusanli point application on gastrointestinal function restoration after cesarean section.Methods 200 patients with cesarean section were divided into control group (n =100)and observation group (n =100).The control group was given routine nursing and observation group was given Jiaweisinisan tsusanli point application.The bowel sound recovery time,anorectum exhaust time,defecating time,abdominal distension rate and gastrin level of serum were compared be-tween the two groups.Results The bowel sound recovery time,anorectum exhaust time and defecating time of observation group signifi-cantly sooner than control group,showed significant differences between the two groups (P <0.05).At postoperative 1d and 2d,ser-um gastrin level of observation group significantly higher than control group,showed significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05).The abdominal distension rate of observation group significantly lower than control group,showed significant differences be-tween the two groups (P <0.05).Conclusion Using Jiaweisinisan tsusanli point application therapy for patients with cesarean section can significantly promote postoperation gastrointestinal peristalsis,regulating serum gastrin level level is the possible mechanism.
