Sponsor's own description
Introduction: Intensive care unit (ICU) is a special department in the health care facility. Although with high development of modern medicine nowadays, the average mortality rate in ICU is still around 7 to 20 %. There are a few tricky problems that intensivists and ICU nurses faced very often, including ICU delirium, arrhythmia and poor digestion problem that will all affect the mortality and morbidity rate of critical care patients. Methods: A randomized control trial will examine the effect of press tack acupuncture vs. press tack placebos. The patients will be randomly divided (1:1) into one of two groups. A total of 80 ICU patients will have to meet the following criteria: age 20-90, newly ICU admission(\<48 hours), APACHE score \<30, one or no inotropic medicine use, FiO2\< 60%. Three interventions will be given in each group. The main outcomes will be the incidence of arrhythmia, delirium, and poor digestion and the severity of pain. We will also record ICU mortality, ICU stays and hospital days.
