title: [Application of traditional Chinese medicine injections using traditional Chinese medicine theory].
abstract: Traditional Chinese medicine injections have advantages on cardiovascular, respiratory critical treatment fields that cannot be irreplaceable by chemical medicines. In particular, they show good clinical efficacy in critical and severe cases caused by viral infection. However, in recent years, traditional Chinese medicine injections have frequently caused serious adverse effects and even fatalities, which made the safety of traditional Chinese medicine injections doubtful. This is mainly resulted from the quality of drugs themselves and rational clinical administration. Therefore, this essay summarizes literature materials starting from the development history of traditional Chinese medicine injections and suggests rationally using traditional Chinese medicine injections under the guidance with traditional Chinese medicine theories.
