【摘要】Objective: To observe the antagonistic effect of acupuncture of Shuigou (水沟 GV 26) on intravenous anesthesia for surgical operation. Methods: Forty patients received intravenous anesthesia were randomly and evenly divided into treatment group and control group. At the termination of anesthesia, Shuigou (GV 26) was needled for patients in treatment group, in control group patients aroused spontaneously. Recovery degrees of every patient were assessed by using modified Robertzon Scoring Scale. Results: Results showed that from the 6th min on, the scores of treatment group were significantly bigger than those of control group (6 min: 5.3±0.42 vs 3.2±0.33, P＜0.05; 15 min: 13.7±0.32 vs 8.23±0.77, P＜0.01), suggesting that the recovery of the patient's consciousness of treatment group was markedly quicker than that of control group. Conclusion: Puncturing Shuigou (GV 26) can hasten the patient's arousal from postoperative anesthesia and thus may be used as an effective remedy for resisting the aftereffects of intravenous anesthetics.
