The purpose of this paper is to study and analyse the effects of the cardial pump function and the blood viscosity on rabbits with hemorrhagic shock by puncturing Neiguan. In the experiment 30 rabbits were divided into the electroacupuncture (EA) group and the control group, each group was 15 rabbits. The cardial pump function, the blood pressure and the blood viscosity were recorded during normalize, shock, and EA. The results were as following. 1. The blood pressure of the rabbits which were in hemorrhagic shock was raised by needling Neiguan. MAP was raised from 43 +/- 8 to 87 +/- 15 mmHg (p less than 0.001). 2. The cardial pump function were reinforced by needling Neiguan. SV was increased from 0.41 +/- 0.46 (before EA) to 0.73 +/- 0.12 ml (p less than 0.0001). CO, SI, CI. and WL were improved in a certain degree with difference significant. In the EA group the each index of the cardial pump function was higher than that of the control group. There was statistical significant between the two groups. 3. Needling Neiguan, the blood viscosity was tending to normality. The blood plasma viscosity was increased. There was significant difference (p less than 0.05). These results suggest that needling Neiguan may protect the cardial pump function, raise the blood pressure, play a positive role during anti hemorrhagic shock.
