Treatment Effects of Xuebijing Injection in Severe Septic Patients with Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation

摘要

The treatment effects of Xuebijing (XBJ) injection in severe septic patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) were investigated in this study. 171 severe septic patients with DIC were divided into the control group (n=83) or intervention group (n=88). Routine therapies were administered in both groups, and XBJ injection was administered additionally in the intervention group. Incidence of DIC, clinical severity scores, and coagulation parameters at 7 days after administration of XBJ injection were compared between the two groups, and short-term prognosis was evaluated by 28-day mortality. Compared with the control group, incidence of DIC in the intervention group was significantly lower at 7 days after administration of XBJ injection (P<0.001). In addition, differences of platelet count and prothrombin time were significantly greater in the intervention group than in the control group (Pall <0.05), and similar results were also found for differences of the Mortality in Emergency Department Sepsis score and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score (Pall <0.05). Furthermore, 28-day mortality was significantly lower in the intervention group (P=0.034). These results demonstrate that XBJ injection can effectively treat DIC caused by severe sepsis and improve short-term prognosis of severe septic patients with DIC.
