Discussion about acupuncture anesthesia applied to nasal operation / 中国针灸

ABSTRACT

In view of the characteristics of different analgesic methods applied to nasal operation, the principle of point selection in acupuncture anesthesia, the frequency of electroacupuncture and the assessment of operation, it was stated that the compound acupuncture anesthesia not only prevented from incomplete analgesia of local anesthesia, but also avoided the adverse reactions of general anesthesia in this paper. Moreover, by reducing the dose of narcotics, the unique advantage of acupuncture anesthesia could be displayed. At present, it was initially believed that a satisfactory analgesia could be achieved by acupuncture at Yingxiang (LI 2) and Yintang (EX-HN 3), with 30 Hz, continuous wave. But there were not many clinical reports on the application of acupuncture anesthesia in nasal endoscopic operation and the operation was not normalized enough. It was expected to optimize the operation procedure of nasal operation under acupuncture anesthesia and promote the clinical practice of it.
