Apparently ear acupuncture during hip replacement = less opioids, and apparently I have things to say about it. So proud of my team!! #Casual #ChengProtocol #intraoperativeacupuncture @drmikeast @bethgausdenmd @BrianChalmersMD @RamenShamanMD @HSSAnesthesia

HSS researchers have found that a specialized form of #acupuncture applied to the outer ear during hip replacement surgery reduces pain after the operation and lessens #opioid use over the weeks to follow. The findings were presented at @ESRA_Society.

#IntraoperativeAcupuncture can be useful for patients who are fearful of medical settings!! Our patients at @HSpecialSurgery are able to request acupuncture to successfully help with the anxiety surrounding surgery! @AAMAcupuncture @drmikeast @HSSProfEd @HSSAnesthesia

This past weekend the first CHENG certificates were earned by HSS Fellows and Attendings. This course teaches anesthesiologists to utilize a specific intraoperative acupuncture protocol to decrease opioid usage. What an amazing feeling! @HSSAnesthesia @HSpecialSurgery @HSSProfEd
