Minilaparotomy was performed using acupuncture analgesia on 78 female patients seeking voluntary sterilization to determine whether this could be used as a substitute for standard analgesic sedation. In 48 women (62%) no intravenous drug medication was required, and sterilization was successfully performed using only the local anaesthetic and acupuncture electrostimulation. These patients could be discharged within one hour of operation. For a developing country with a shortage of trained anaesthetists, acupuncture analgesia could prove to be a simple, safe and economical method, especially in a rural setting.
对78名寻求自愿绝育的女性患者采用针刺镇痛进行小剖腹术,以确定其是否可替代标准的镇痛镇静方法。48名女性(62%)无需静脉用药,仅使用局部麻醉和针刺电刺激就成功完成了绝育手术。这些患者术后一小时内即可出院。对于麻醉师短缺的发展中国家而言,针刺镇痛可能是一种简单、安全且经济的方法,尤其适用于农村地区。
