Localización
1.5 cun lateral to the DU channel, level with the lower edge of the second thoracic vertebra's spinous process; find it at the highest visible point of the paraspinal muscles.
Punción
- 01Insert obliquely, 0.5–0.7 cun.
- 02Moxibustion may be used.
- 03Angle the needle toward the spine, 0.5–1 cun.
- 04Insert transversely-obliquely, 1–1.5 cun.
- 05Caution: inserting straight in, or obliquely away from the spine, risks pneumothorax.
- 06Insert straight in with a slight tilt toward the spine, 1–1.5 cun; this produces local distention and soreness that may spread between the ribs.
- 07Insert transversely, angled downward along the muscle, 1–2 cun; expect local distention and soreness.
- 08Caution: avoid excessive depth, to prevent puncturing the Lung.
