Summary

This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation on acupoints can reduce stomach acid backing up into the throat during anesthesia with an i-gel breathing tube. About 116 adults having surgery will be randomly assigned to get the stimulation or not. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug method can make anesthesia safer and more comfortable.
