What's the Subject About?
o CMAC221 is all about exposing you to
as many different ways of treating
included under the Chinese Medicine
umbrella
o While points are important
o Understanding the theory of why you
would or would not use an individual
technique is more important
o This gives you several levels of
redundancy in treating – what else can
you do when one approach does not
work Image: Ron Mader, 2013

Chef Vs Cook
o A cook follows the recipe step by
step and does not develop or
create on their own
o A chef can create a great meal by
knowing and understanding what
flavours go together
o Only remembering points will trap
you at the level of a cook
o Understanding the theory will give
you the freedom to become a chef
o Aspire to be the ChefImage: Jedi94, 2013

CMAC222 – Subject Rationale
“Acupuncture Therapeutics 2 expands on the content
developed in Acupuncture Therapeutics 1 (CMAC211).
Acupuncture needling, is expanded upon and applied in
conjunction with a range of allied Traditional Chinese
medicine interventions. Techniques such as guasha
(scraping), bleeding, dermal hammer, laser and electro-
acupuncture will be introduced along with an Introduction to
microsystems (ear, hand, face and scalp). Balance (I-
Ching) acupuncture will also be included in this subject.
Students will differentiate between Chinese medicine
therapeutics to determine appropriate treatment and
discover known and possible mechanism of action.”

control and management of sharps and biohazards in line with
the CMBA guidelines as they relate to each Chinese medicine
therapeutic technique.
o Compare and contrast Chinese medicine therapeutic
techniques to achieve appropriate clinical outcomes for
presenting conditions.
o Demonstrate knowledge and skill when using each Chinese
medicine therapeutic technique on fellow students.

Emergency Acupuncture
o Thousands of years ago the Chinese
Doctor would have seen emergencies
o Many classical texts cite such conditions
o These may have ranged from myocardial
infarctions to acute fevers to labours
needing further interventions
o Do you think that acupuncture and
Chinese medicine are the best form of
medical care to recommend for such
emergencies?
o This does depend on the emergency
Emergency Medicaid, 2015

Emergency Acupuncture
o Acupuncture can be an adjunct therapy for some
emergencies
o Zhang et al. 2014, showed that acupuncture in the ED
appears safe and acceptable for patients with pain and
or nausea
o Cohen et al. 2017, concluded “The effectiveness of
acupuncture in providing acute analgesia for patients
with back pain and ankle sprain was comparable with
that of pharmacotherapy. Acupuncture is a safe and
acceptable form of analgesia.”
o However, acute conditions such as pain, fever, asthma,
severe diarrhoea, have all been identified by the WHOZhang et al, 2014, p25-6, Cohen et al. 2017, p494, WHO 2002

Conclusion:
This article provides an update on one of the oldest pain relief techniques
(acupuncture) that could find a central place in the management of acute care
settings. This should be considered especially in today's increasingly complicated
and poly medicated patients to avoid adverse drug reactions.Grissa et al. 2016 p2112

Principles of Treatment
o The use of the Jing well points
and GV26 for all acute
emergencies.
o The use of points like LI 4, PC4
and Yaotongxue (back of the
hand) for rapid relief of pain and
spasm.
o The use of ahshi points to relieve
local pain.
o The use of xi cleft points for
acute conditions involving the
Zang Fu or channel.Deadman, 2007, Bensky & O’Connor, 1981
Image:Back Pain, 2014
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 21
Principles of Treatment
o The use of specific points for
symptoms, e.g. PC6 for
palpitations or vomiting.
o The use of points like GV20 for a
controlling effect on all the
channels plus a sedative and
calming effect.
o Use of ear points to relieve pain,
fainting and insomnia.
o Common sense first aid
measures.Deadman, 2007, Bensky & O’Connor, 1981
Image: MaxxxL, 2015
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 22
Epileptic Attack, Hysterical Attack,
Febrile Fit
o These conditions may be from
various underlying aetiologies, in all
cases GV26 – with needle or firm
acupressure. If the attack is
severe, GV26 and KI1 - active
needle manipulation.
o LU11 and Shixuan (tips of fingers)
Prick to cause bleeding.
o HE6 (Xi cleft) with high stimulation.
o A threading method can also be
used. Needle HE5 through to HE7
bilaterally. Deadman, 2007, Bensky & O’Connor, 1981
Image: Jon-e, 2007
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 23
Severe Headache
o With any severe headache,
differentiation needs to be made by
which channel is effected, then
treat accordingly.
o LI4 can be used in many cases.
o GV20 can be used to sedate the
patient.
o Three Yin or 3 Yang Jing Wells on
either hand of foot
o Ear points brain, occiput and brain
stem may be utilised either pressed
with a thin object or needled.Deadman, 2007, Bensky & O’Connor, 1981

pressure is effective to
relieve spasm
o LU6 (Xi Cleft)
o Dingchuan (Stop wheezing)
o CV17 also useful

emergency procedures
should be taken

Prevention
o Much easier to focus on prevention
o Informed consent
o Choose a comfortable position
o Start gentle and become more vigorous if needed
o Ask the patient when they last ate
o Does the patient have a history of fainting
o Take cues for the patient while they are getting the
needles
o Act quickly if you suspect it to minimise other harm
Chang, 2011, p70

Management of accidents
Stuck needle
o Check for excessive rotation in
one direction and rotate opposite
o Leave needle, massage locally
and then withdraw with gentle
rotation
o Moxa locally
o Insert needle nearby
o See the companion DVD for a demonstration for all of these
conditions Chang, 2011, Needling techniques for acupuncturists
basic principles and techniques, Singing Dragon, London
Chang, 2011, p71 and front cover
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 31
Stuck or bent needleo Often loosens if left alone for a few
minutes
o Lightly stroking or massaging the skin
near the point
o Apply warmth
o If fails, insert another needle an inch or
so from first. (This scatters the
concentration of Qi blood)
o If due to excess twirling – twirl in the
opposite direction
o Never try to force a stubborn needle
Chang, 2011, p71-2, Norris, 2001, p131-2
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 32
Bent needle
oAvoid excessive client movements
o If the client has moved, have them
return to the original position
oWithdraw needle slowly following the
course of the bend
Chang, 2011, p72
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 33
Broken needle
o Imperfections in the body of the
needle
o The sudden movement of the
patient
o Strong muscle contractions
o Excess force during needle
manipulation
o Unlikely to happen with modern
needle making technology –
more from when needles were
sterilisedChang, 2011, p73, Norris, 2001, p132
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 34
Management of Broken needle
oNever insert needles to the root of the
handle
o If the needle is close to the surface,
press down surrounding tissue to
expose it further
oRemove with forceps
Chang, 2011, p73
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 35
Managing a Broken needle
o Withdrawing broken needle
o When break discovered:
o Remain calm
o Patient kept still
o If broken needle protrudes from skin use tweezers or forceps to extract it
o If just below the surface apply pressure with thumb and index finger to the
skin. If protrudes remove with tweezers
o Do not probe or push the area to expose the needle
o If in deep tissue, must be extracted surgically
o The standard protocol is to circle the site of insertion with an inedible
marking pen
o Immobilise the area
o Arrange for immediate transport to a suitable medical facility for surgical
intervention
Chang, 2011, p73, Norris, 2001, p132
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 36
Management of accidents
Bleeding and Haematoma
o Always check after needle
removal
o Apply pressure until bleeding
stops or swelling is
reabsorbed
o If swelling persists, apply ice
for a few minutes.
Traditionally, this can be
followed up with moxa or
rubbing the area.Chang, 2011, p74-5

Management of accidents
Pneumothorax
o Avoid deep needling over chest
o Collapse of part or all of a lung due to air
allowed to penetrate into pleural cavity
o Symptoms vary from slight discomfort to severe
dyspnea and shock
o In all cases of suspected pneumothorax call for
medical assistance or ambulance
