Abstract:
Most of the transfusion adult outpatients are old people with chronic disease, and theirsmall blood vessels become less elastic with age. They need long course and repeated localised puncture site. On the base of that fact, the author describes the 5.5gauge scalp acupuncture and 7 gauge scalp acupuncture about their use on the patients. The 5.5 gauge scalp acupuncture is smaller and shorter, so it has the advantage of high success ratio and it is easier to be fixed. Additionally, the transfusion speed is easy to be controlled, which reduces the ratios of transfusion reaction and adverse drug reactions. The pinhole is small and can be healed faster. The congestion around the puncture location is less than that of the 7 scalp acupuncture. It can alleviate the pain for patients and increase satisfaction. To sum up, the 5.5 gauge scalp acupuncture should be used widely as we allocate“people oriented”and“All for the patients”.
