From drug anesthesia to acupuncture anesthesia

From drug anesthesia to acupuncture anesthesia

In 1972, during US President Nixon’s visit to China, the US delegation heard that China had a technique of acupuncture anesthesia that could perform lung resection while the patient was awake, hoping to watch the operation
.

At 8:30 on the morning of February 24, more than 30 people, including US government officials , news media, and doctors accompanying the delegation, arrived at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing Medical University
.
The patient was prepared for right upper lobectomy due to bronchiectasis in the upper lobe of the right lung
.
Xin Yuling pierced and twisted a needle on the patient's arm to perform thoracotomy, and the delegation recorded the whole process by taking pictures
.
In the end, a general anesthesia took two or three hours to complete the operation, and Xin Yuling completed it cleanly in 72 minutes

After the operation, the patient sat up from the operating table and answered questions from American reporters
.
Seeing that the patient was conscious, calm and free, without any painful expressions, the members of the US delegation were overwhelmed by the magical effect of "acupuncture and anaesthesia
.
"

Xin Yuling said that he found that clinically patients after lung cancer surgery are often distressed by incision pain, difficulty expecting sputum, and poor urination
.
After trying acupuncture and moxibustion to treat these symptoms and achieving good results, I thought of applying acupuncture therapy as a breakthrough point in the development of integration of Chinese and Western medicine
.

In the beginning, due to the long incision in the chest operation, 16 needles were needed for anesthesia, and 4 doctors kept twisting during the operation
.
Such a complicated operation was difficult to promote .
After screening and repeated experiments, on June 25, 1970, Xin Yuling's first case of lung resection was successfully performed with a needle and acupuncture at the Sanyangluo Penetrating Qimen point

Xin Yuling has used acupuncture anesthesia to perform more than 1,400 cases of lung resection, with a success rate of 98%, amazed by colleagues at home and abroad, and promoted acupuncture to the world
