Electrical acupuncture is most commonly used in practice, it provides a wave-pulse stimulation. Since the human body soon gets used to the monotonous stimulation, the anesthetic effect of electrical acupuncture tends to wear off, if the operating time is prolonged. In order to overcome this shortcomings the present co-operative group, headed by the Heilungjiang Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, started to explore the possibility of using electric current trigered by a harmonious sound wave for acupuncture anesthesia. Since the electric current wave touched off by a constantly changing sound wave fluctuated all the time, it should, theoretically, be more effective for prolonged effects.
Since 1972, the authors have used sono-electric wave for anesthesia in over 1000 cases, and proved to our own satisfaction that it is a useful modality, particularly for major operations. In 486 major operations, good anesthesia was obtained with sono-electric wave in 82.9% of the cases, while only in 76.8% with conventional electric. In 48 cases of craniotomies, 25% of the cases got good anesthesia with sono-electric wave, while only 16.7% with conventional method.
When sono-electric wave was used in combination with the conventional electric acupuncture, the anesthetic effect was appreciably augmented. In 72 cases of tubal ligation, 38.8% of the cases done with conventional electric had satisfactory anesthesia, while 52.7% of those who received mixed electric wave were satisfied with the anesthesia.
However, in minor operations, sono-electric wave is less satisfactory in respect to analgesia and muscular relaxation, as compared with conventional electric anesthesia.
As for relieving the unpleasant sensations from traction on the abdominal viscera, sono-electric wave has been proved superior to conventional electric. In a series of 100 cass of tubal ligation, 88.5% of cases with sono-electric wave experienced no unpleasant sensations when the tube was delivered and ligated, while only 71.4% of the cases with the conventional electric were in the same category.
Sono-electric wave has also a more favorable effect on the post-operative course. Of 126 cases studied, patients with sono-electric wave had a much smoother post-operative course so far as the duration of convalescence, post-operative insomnia, and nausea and vomiting are concerned.
When used alone, the anesthetic effect tends to go up as the time went on. When supplemented with drugs, the effect was good in those with shorter induction time; this makes it plausible for shorter and minor operations. The reverse is true with the conventional electric.
Generally speaking, the favored intensity of the electric current for sono-electric wave lies in the range of 0.4-0.8 mA.
Comparing the general effect of sono-electric wave and conventional electric on the human body, we noted that both of them affect the pulse rate little. However, the systolic pressure fluctuated more in the sono-group when drugs were given. The white blood cell count in the peripheral blood fluctuated more, but it tends to come back some ten minutes earlier from its low ebb than in the electric group. In both groups, the changes in the respiratory waves, the capillary volume and skin temperature of the fingers are diphasic, and the changes in the capillary volume and skin temperature are correlated. The only findings at variance in these two groups are the capillary volumes of the fingers. Pain threshold pattern is also diphasic in the sono-electric wave group.
