Abstract:
This article introduces the experience of Academician SHI Xuemin in treatment of stroke combined with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. It is believed that this disease is the syndrome of "stroke of lung qi exhaustion". It is rooted at the deficiency of primary qi, and lung qi declining; and characterized by phlegm stagnation, qi reversion and mind blockage. This disease is manifested as somnolence-like symptoms, snoring-like breathing and sawing-like expectorating. The therapeutic regimen focuses on "governing qihai (sea of qi ), regulating the spirit and adjusting the orifice closure". The main acupoints include Neiguan (PC6), Shuigou (GV26) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) to regain the consciousness and open the orifices. Besides, Renying (ST9) is added to regulate the respiration, Baihui (GV20) and Sishencong (EX-HN1) to harmonize the spirit, and Fengchi (GB20), Wangu (GB12) and Yifeng (TE17) to open the orifice for the treatment of symptoms. It provides a new idea for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of stroke with accompanying symptoms.
