The mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR) and blood oxygen saturation (SpO@*RESULTS@#At the time point of 0.5 h after treatment, the CPOT and RASS scores in the two groups were lower than those before treatment (@*CONCLUSION@#Acupuncture has analgesic and sedative effect in elderly patients with severe pneumonia during invasive mechanical ventilation, which could reduce the dosage of sedative and analgesic drugs and the occurrence of complications, improve blood oxygen, and has good safety.
