Abstract:
155 patients with thyroid tumors were operated under acupuncture anaesthesia associated with medicaments (group 1) and undergone topical anesthesia in superficiel cervical plexus area (group 2). Observation showed that in the course of vascular, operation, pulse, blood presure and respiratory rhythm increased in both two groups but in group 1, these indices were less increased than in group 2 (in average, mean pulse increased by 4 cycles/minute, max. blood pressure increased by 5mmHg, min. blood pressure 3mmHg, respiratory rythm 0,6 times/minute. After the anesthetic acupuncture, beta endorphine level increased dramatically (45,25pg/ml) versus before that (35,58pg/ml) acetyl choline level increased by 273% and catecholamin by 267% versus before that
