Acupuncture can be associated with potentially life-threatening complications. Although rare, we feel that potential complications are not being conveyed to patients. We present a case of acupuncture-induced pneumothorax and describe some changes to acupuncture practice that we would like to see implemented.
针灸可能会引发潜在的危及生命的并发症。虽然这种情况罕见，但我们认为潜在并发症并未告知患者。我们报告一例针灸诱发气胸的病例，并描述一些我们希望实施的针灸操作改变。
