title: [Analysis on therapeutic effect of acupuncture combined with hyperbaric oxygenation on delayed encephalopathy in the patient of acute carbon monoxide poisoning].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To compare therapeutic effects of acupuncture combined with hyperbaric oxygenation and simple hyperbaric oxygenation on delayed encephalopathy in the patient of acute carbon monoxide poisoning.
  
  
  METHODS
  Sixty inpatients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group. The observation group were treated with acupuncture at Neiguan (PC 6), Shuigou (GV 26), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Baihui (GV 20), Sishencong (EX-HN 1), etc., and hyperbaric oxygenation. The control group were treated with simple hyperbaric oxygenation. Nerve function defect was evaluated.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The total effective rate was 96.7% in the observation group and 86.7% in the control group, the observation group being significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Acupuncture combined with hyperbaric oxygenation has a significant therapeutic effect on delayed encephalopathy in the patient of acute carbon monoxide poisoning.
