SI-13
this point is located close to the medial border of the scapula. Too medial an insertion or deep medial-oblique needling may puncture the lungs
35
SI-14
perpendicular insertion, esp in thin patients, carries a substantial risk of inducing a pneumothorax

39
P-6 & P-7
median n. (some electric sensation is ok)
40
SJ-5 & SJ-6
movement of patient's arm or hand after needling may result in bent needle
41
SJ-15
perpendicular insertion, esp in thin patients, carries a substantial risk of inducing a pneumothorax
42
SJ-17
If needle is directed too anteriorly or posteriorly, pain will ensue
43
SJ-22
Avoid Superficial Temporal A. (CAM) point is just posterior to where the artery can be palpated (DM)
44

avoid injuring liver, deep insertion is not advisable (puncture perpendicularly 0.3-0.7 inch)
45
K-22
avoid injuring heart, deep insertion is not advisable. (puncture obliquely 0.3-0.5 inch)
46
B-1
Don't twist or lift and thrust needle. To avoid bleeding, press site a/f w/drawal of needle (CAM) Ask patient to close eyes and look in direction the needle is going - Needle perpendicular to depth 0.5-1 cun (DM)
47
B-11 - B-21
oblique insertion towards spine, 0.5 - 1 cun or transverse-oblique insertion 1 - 1.5 cun. Caution: perpendicular needling carries a substantial risk of causing pneumothorax
48
B-22 & B-23
oblique or perpendicular-oblique insertion towards spine, 1 - 1.5 cun. caution: deep perpendicular needling carries a risk of injuring kidney.
49
B-41 & B-42
oblique insertion 0.3-0.5 cun. Caution: deep perpendicular or deep oblique needling in a medial direction carries a substantial risk of causing pneumothorax
50
B-43 - B-50
oblique insertion 0.3-0.5 cun. Caution: deep perpendicular or deep oblique needling in medial direction carries a risk of causing pneumothorax
51
B-51 & B-52
oblique insertion, 0.5 - 1 cun. Caution: deep perpendicular needling carries a risk of injuring kidney.
