(4-1)【Acupuncture anaesthesia for heart surgery】In 1958, Chinese medical researchers successfully completed a first integrated acupuncture-medicine anesthesia (CAMA) operation. Compared with general anesthesia (GA) patients, the CAMA patients had a less usage of narcotic drugs, less postoperative pulmonary infection, shorter stay in intensive care unit, reduced postoperative morbidity and lower medical cost. After over 30 years of clinical practices, CAMA can be used for head, neck, chest and abdominal operations. The stamp depicts an acupuncture anaesthesia for heart surgical operation.

The left side of the stamp depicts an integrated Chinese-western treatment for hand fracture in progress, while the right side of the stamp showed that the patient's hand has great ease of mobility after treatment.
