Guest guest Posted April 11, 2000 Report Share Posted April 11, 2000 Sorry I forgot to say.... Perpendicular insertion in the direction of JianJing (GB-21) 1/2 to 1 cun avoiding the axillary artery. Avoid medial insertion towards the chest as this may puncture the lung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you consider the highest point inside the axila - where H-1 should be - that would place it behind the axilar artery. The thing is that one can palpate to vessels running in there - one in the frontal part and another in the rear part of the axila. It seems that the axilar artery is the one in front. Are you placing H-1 close to the frontal muscle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
