Abstract: ObjectiveTo investigate the application status of infusion solutions in our hospital and provide reference for rational drug use. MethodsBy a retrospective study, application data of infusion solutions from January to December of 2012 in our hospital were statistically analyzed. ResultsIn 2012, the total number of infusion solutions used in clinic reached 2 672 324 bottles, there were 495 272 patients registered for treatment, therefore per capita 5.4 bottles.The amount of infusion solutions accounted for 11.47% of all drugs. Maximum usage was nutrition and electrolyte infusion solutions, which reached to 4.4% and 1.38% of the total amount respectively. There were unreasonable applications such as no indications for medication, overmedication, incompatibility, improper dosage, etc. ConclusionInfusion solutions were extensively used in our hospital, simultaneously followed with lots of unreasonable application problems. So it's needed to further strengthen supervision and management on the rational administration of infusion solutions.
