This article described and analyzed the medical treatment of an elderly patient with TBIRS participated by clinical pharmacists. In the whole process of treatment,clinical pharmacists helped physicians establish an individual treatment scheme according to the patient's basic situation,characteristics of blood glucose,pathophysiology and concomitant diseases. On the basis of proper anti-hyperglycemic scheme,clinical pharmacists suggested that the patient be treated with glucocorti-coids and immunoregulators,and then thorough pharmaceutical care was provided for the patient. Finally, the patient's insulin dose decreased and blood glucose was better than that before the admission,which indicated the effect of medical treatment and the value of clinical pharmacists.
