ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe analgesic effect of acupuncture anesthesia.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sixty-nine cases undergoing rectal cancer surgery were randomly divided into 3 groups, group I, II and III, 23 cases in each group. Both Zusanli (ST 36) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) were selected for acupuncture anesthesia. Group I received general anesthesia after acupuncture induction, group II received acupuncture after general anesthesia, and group II received only general anesthesia. Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) before and after operation was recorded.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>MAC was (1.35 +/- 0.19) vol% in the group I, (1.49 +/- 0.22) vol% in the group II and (1.64 +/- 0.27) vol% in the group III. Acupuncture before and after general anesthesia could decrease respectively by about 0.29% and 0.15% of MAC in rectal cancer surgery undergoing general anesthesia, with a very significant difference (P < 0.01) or a significant difference (P < 0.05) among the 3 groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Acupuncture anesthesia has a certain adjuvant action for anesthesia and analgesia, and acupuncture before general anesthesia has a better action.</p>
