Results:In 298 cases of discharged patients, 280 patients used xiyanping injection. 169 cases were involved in the respiratory system. The diagnosis of 31 cases was unclear. The drug dosage of 162 patients did not reach its therapeutic dose. The per capita cost of xiyanping injection was 338.0 yuan. Conclusion:Irrational clinical use of xiyanping injection existed.
