Abstract

Blood coagulation time, bleeding time, clot retraction ability, thrombocytes counts and hematological values under electroacpuncture anesthesis and medicament anesthesia, using 10 mongrel dogs were compared. The results were summarized as follows: 1. Blood coagulation time under electroacupuncture anesthesia was shorter than that under medicament anesthesia (p<0.001). 2. Bleeding time under electroacupuncture anesthesia was shorter than that under medicament anesthesia (p<0.01). 3. Clot retraction ability under electroacupuncture anesthesia was better than that under medicament anesthesia (p<0.01). 4. Thrombocytes counts under electroacupuncture anesthesia was more increased than that under medicament anesthesia (p<0.05). 5. Erythrocytes counts, hematocrit values, hemnglobin contents and leukocytes counts were decreased (p<0.01) under medicament anesthesia in comparison with control group, but there was no significant difference under electroacupuncture anesthesia.
