The new model of acupuncture-anesthetics compound anesthesia (AACA) is developed and established on the basis of traditional acupuncture anesthesia underwent open heart surgery by our team，in which the patient remained light sleep and retention of spontaneous breathing with no tracheal intubation during surgery.Compared with general anesthesia (inhaled combined narcotic drugs anesthesia)，AACA can reduce the dosage of narcotic drugs and the incidence of postoperative complications，and has the characteristics of rapid postoperative rehabilitation，which can be useful as a complementary method of modern anesthesia techniques and bring the development prospect to the practical application of traditional acupuncture anesthesia.In order to promote the AACA in the country，our team developed “Clinical practice specification of AACA for heart valve replacement operation with non-intubation condition” according to our long-term clinical practice and experience.The proposal is formulated based on the “innovation and application of acupuncture-anesthetics compound anesthesia”，a sub-project of “Study on Acupuncture-anesthetics Analgesia and Body Protection Mechanism Based on Clinical Practice” of National Basic Research Program of China/973 Project by Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China.
