Flowchart of study design. I/R: ischemia-reperfusion, TEAS: transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation, BP: noninvasive blood pressure, HR: heart rate, SpO₂: capillary oxygen saturation, CCL2: C-C motif chemokine ligand 2, CRP: C-reactive protein, CXCL8: C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8, IL-1: interleukin-1, IL-6: interleukin-6, IL-10: interleukin-10, and TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor-α.
