Acupuncture for acute postoperative pain relief in a patient with pregnancy-induced thrombocytopenia--a case report. / Oomman S, Liu D, Cummings M. |
| Abstract |
A 39 year old woman, scheduled for elective caesarean section in her second pregnancy, developed thrombocytopenia. Therefore, at the time of surgery, spinal anaesthesia and non-steroidal analgesic drugs were avoided and she was given a standard general anaesthetic procedure including fentanyl 100 microg and morphine 10 mg. In the early postoperative period she received tramadol 100 mg and a further 10 mg of morphine. These drugs did not control her pain, but caused side effects--in particular nausea and retching. Acupuncture to LI4 and PC6 on the right side produced dramatic pain relief within minutes. |
| Conclusion |
Acupuncture to LI4 and PC6 on the right side produced dramatic pain relief within minutes. |
