Abstract:
50 Cases of neolarynx reconstruction under acupuncture anesthesia combining with drugs were performed from 1992 to 1995. We used the ear points "Lung", "Shenmen", "Sympathetic", body points "Hegu", "Zhigou", "Futu". The patients were given pethidine, rotundine, metoclopramide intramuscularly 15-25 min before operation. The excellent rate was 98%.

Spinal anesthetics are given during lower abdomen and limb surgeries to block sensory and motor neurons. They are administered in the mid to low lumbar regions, primarily acting on the cauda equina's nerve roots. The blockade level depends on the local anesthetic (LA) concentration. Usually, low LA concentrations are sufficient to block sensory fibers, while only high LA concentrations block motor fibers. Other factors like injection volume and speed, the patient's posture, and the drug...
