Resumen: The philtrum point VG 26 (Jen Chung) was needled in 69 cases of respiratory
depression or apnoea in dogs and cats during induction or maintenance of general
anaesthesia. Respiration was restored to normal or near normal rates within 10 to
30 seconds of insertion of the needle in all the cases. In seven cases of anaesthetic
apnoea with concurrent cardiac arrest and absence of vital signs, the revival rate
was 43 per cent. Those which recovered required four to 10 minutes of acupuncture
stimulation. In eight cases of collapse due to other causes, the revival rate was 25
per cent. The cases included five sheep in shock following liver biopsy, two cases of
haemorrhagic shock (dog, cat) and one terminal collapse in chronic congestive heart
failure (dog).
