Science-Based Medicine Blog对针灸麻醉的批判
作者：Crucify
今天在Consumer Health Digest的邮件里看到的，粗略翻译一下摘要。
The Science-Based Medicine Blog（基于科学的医学 博客）得出结论，从
1958到1970年中期被中国所宣扬的“针灸麻醉”是虚假的。在分为四部分的系列
文章里，麻醉学家医学博士Kimball Atwood得出结论：
1. 大部分为外科手术而被施以针灸麻醉的患者也被施以了镇静剂，麻醉剂
和局部麻醉。
2. 对“针灸麻醉”使用和有效性的统计数据被严重夸大了。
3. 在文革中，患者有着讨好医师和权威的巨大压力，因此他们不大会抱怨。
4. 在七十年代末，当批判变得安全的时候，有识之士开始公开揭露其虚假
性。对中医的使用和崇拜从那时开始走下坡路。
5. 不存在所谓针灸麻醉，至少不存在人道的或者临床上实用的用于外科手
术的针灸麻醉。

=======================
Devastating attack on "acupuncture anesthesia" published.
The Science-Based Medicine Blog has concluded that the
"acupuncture anesthesia" promoted by the People's Republic of China
from about 1958 through the mid-1970s was faked. In a four-part series,
anesthesiologist Kimball Atwood, M.D. concludes:
**Most patients who underwent acupuncture for surgery were given
sedatives, narcotics, and local anesthetics.
**Statistics about the use and effectiveness of "acupuncture
anesthesia" were grossly exaggerated.
**During the Cultural Revolution, patients were under extreme
pressure to please their physicians and other authority figures, which
meant they were unlikely to complain.
**In the late 1970s, when criticism became safe, knowledgeable
doctors began speaking out publicly about the fakery. Use and respect
for Traditional Chinese Medicine has been declining in China sine that
time.
**There is no acupuncture anesthesia or analgesia-at least not to
an extent that is either humane or clinically useful for surgery.
