Abstract: This study was conducted to study the effect of Huiyangjiuzhen technique on postoperative recovery quality and hemorheology index of dog. Eight healthy dogs were randomly divided into control group and acupuncture group and sterilized, with four dogs in each group. The control group was anesthetized and sterilized according to the normal operation procedure, while the acupuncture group was based on the treatment of the control group by acupuncture at Huiyangjiuzhen acupoints before waking up after the operation. The recovery time, circulatory and respiratory indexes, body temperature and hemorheology indexes and other indicators of the two groups were collected, expressed as mean±standard deviation, and analyzed by t test.The results showed that the recovery of swallowing reflex and the first head up time in the acupuncture group were significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); the HR of the acupuncture group was significantly higher than that of the control group at the first head up time (P<0.05); after 90 minutes of anesthesia the hemorheological index of the acupuncture group were Hηb 200·s^-1, Hηb 150·s^-1, Mηb 50·s^-1, Mηb 30·s^-1, Lηb 10·s^-1, Lηb 1·s^-1, EDI, ET, high shear resistance, medium shear resistance， Low shear resistance, QwX, and the difference are significantly different from the control group (P<0.05), Hηr 200·s^-1, Mηr 30·s^-1, Lηr 1·s^-1, BR, Br, EAI, VAI, ERI have highly significant differences (P<0.05). It shows that acupuncture at the Huiyangjiuzhen acupoints can shorten the recovery time of the surgical dog, improve the heart rate during recovery, reduce the blood viscosity after anesthesia, and alleviate the rise of blood viscosity etc, so as to improve the recovery quality of dogs.
