Electroacupuncture analgesia was used for surgery in horses and donkeys. A KWD-808 electrical stimulator was used to incrementally induce a dense, dispersed wave output at frequencies from 20 to 55 Hz, which was maintained at a frequency of 55 Hz, and to change the amplitude of the wave to the best grading number for the suggested operation in each animal. Induction of analgesia lasted for 20-30 minutes, and the effect of analgesia was maintained for 20-45 minutes depending on the type of surgery performed. The exhibited clinical signs, physical examination data, and the responses of all animals were used for evaluating the periods of analgesia. Although the majority of the cases (95%) had no response to strong surgical pain, they experienced significant increases in heart rates and respiratory rates during induction. The lack of pain, relaxed surgical procedures, reduced intraoperative bleeding, and improved healing without complications were all definite benefits of using electroacupuncture analgesia in surgery. Thus, this study has provided surgical evidence supporting the effectiveness of electroacupuncture analgesia, as well as confirming its reliability, in the field of equine anesthesia and surgery.
电针镇痛被用于马和驴的手术中。使用KWD - 808电刺激器以递增方式诱导出频率范围为20至55赫兹的密集、分散波输出，并将其维持在55赫兹的频率，同时将波幅调整为每只动物建议手术的最佳分级数值。镇痛诱导持续20 - 30分钟，镇痛效果根据所施行手术的类型维持20 - 45分钟。所有动物表现出的临床体征、体格检查数据及反应均用于评估镇痛时长。尽管大多数病例（95%）对强烈的手术疼痛无反应，但在诱导期间它们的心率和呼吸频率显著增加。无痛、手术操作轻松、术中出血减少以及愈合良好且无并发症都是在手术中使用电针镇痛的明确益处。因此，本研究提供了手术证据，支持电针镇痛在马麻醉和手术领域的有效性，并证实了其可靠性。
