RESUMO
Objective To analyze the clinical application of TCM decoction pieces for heat clearing in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University; To promote rational administration of TCM decoction pieces, and guarantee patients' medication safety. Methods By using Microsoft Office Excel 2013 software, use frequencies, classifications of pharmacological actions and doses of TCM decoction pieces for heat clearing (DHC) from 2013 to 2015 of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University were analyzed. Results In our hospital, from 2013 to 2015, in top 15 DHC, the amounts of clearing away heat and toxin were more than 40%, and which of the average doses exceeded the upper limit of pharmacopoeia dosage, were more than 30%. The part that overdoes frequencies greater than 30% were 11.0% of the total, nevertheless, the part that not exceeded was 39.0% of the total. Conclusion The use of medicine for heat clearing should be carefully dialectical, paying attention to the rationality of medication. The dose should be careful and effectively regulated.
