Localisation

  1. 01Located 0.5 cun superior to the suprasternal notch, centered in the depression there.
  2. 02At the midpoint of the supraclavicular fossa.
  3. 03On the midline, centered in the suprasternal fossa, 0.5 cun above the suprasternal notch.

Puncture

  1. 01Transverse technique: begin with a perpendicular insertion of 0.2 to 0.4 cun, then redirect the needle downward behind the manubrium and in front of the trachea, advancing roughly 1 to 1.5 cun. This produces local distention and soreness along with a tightening feeling in the pharynx.
  2. 02Perpendicular insertion of 0.3 to 0.5 cun, producing local distention and soreness.
  3. 03Caution: With the transverse approach, take care not to insert too deeply, as this risks puncturing the aorta or the innominate (anonyma) arteries. Too deep a perpendicular insertion will puncture the trachea. Keep the needle from drifting far to either side — in emphysema patients especially, deviation can puncture the Lung or the subclavian artery.
  4. 04Puncture perpendicularly to 0.2 cun first, then angle the needle tip down along the back of the sternum for a further 0.5 to 1 cun.
  5. 05Moxibustion may be used.
  6. 06Perpendicular insertion to 0.3 cun.
  7. 07With the patient's neck extended, insert perpendicularly 0.2 to 0.3 cun at first, then guide the needle downward along the posterior edge of the manubrium for 0.5 to 1 cun.
