PA: CVR results in the pre-acupuncture phase were
10.08 – 7.83/10.13 – 7.67 cm/s2 for right/left measurements.
There was no significant difference compared to VA ( p = 0.299/
0.300). Higher mean values in PA were caused by 2 patientswith
extreme variables (25.8/23.0 cm/s2 and 27.8/27.0 cm/s2); mean
values without these would be 7.29/7.65 cm/s2. CVR was
6.9 – 3.6/6.64 – 2.85cm/mm Hg ท s in the postacupuncture
phase and reached in pre/post acupuncture comparison no
significance ( p = 0.094/0.064). Corresponding CPVR for right/
left measurements were 1.3 – 0.51/1.28 – 0.51cm/mm Hg ทs in
the pre-acupuncture phase. There was no significant difference
compared to VA ( p = 0.117/0.113). Results for postacupuncture
CPVR decreased just the same and were 1.06 – 0.34/
1.05 – 0.27cm/mm Hg ท s. There was a tendency, but not a
significant difference in pre-/post comparison ( p = 0.051/0.057).
No changes of end-tidal pCO2 measurements were observed
during the VM. Courses of right/left CVR and CPVR
of individuals are shown in Table 4.
