Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of auricular acupoint pressure bean on elderly patients with non-invasive ventilation abdominal distension, hoping to provide a little help for elderly patients with non-invasive ventilation abdominal distension treatment research. Methods The study period was from November 2021 to November 2022. A total of 66 cases of elderly patients with abdominal distension complicated by non-invasive ventilation in the hospital were divided into the control group and the observation group by random selection method. The two groups were treated with routine regimen and auricular acupoint compression regimen respectively, and the relevant data information was statistically and compared. Results The relevant data of the two groups after receiving different treatments were input into the statistical system for processing, and the results showed that P value <0.05, the difference was significant. The observation group had shorter exhaust time, shorter defecation time, lower abdominal distension rate, and higher quality of life score. Conclusions Auricular acupoint pressure beans can enhance the treatment effect of non-invasive ventilation for abdominal distension in elderly patients, promote patients exhaust and defecation, control the risk of abdominal distension within a reasonable range, and improve the quality of life of patients.
