Abstract: ObjectiveBy collecting the medications of acute bronchopneumonia in children in our hospital, to analyze drug use in these patients, and provide some reference for the rational use of drugs. Methods The medical records of acute bronchopneumonia in children from November 2016 to November 2017 were collected, and the rationalities of the use of drugs with acute bronchopneumonia in children were analyzed. Results A total of 432 cases were collected, where 3 961 medications in total and 9.17 medications per patient were prescribed. These medications were involved in 6 types of 25 kinds of drugs, and the selection of drug varieties was generally reasonable. There were 618 irrational medical orders, accounting for 15.60% of the total medication orders. Irrationally used drugs included traditional Chinese medicine injections and antibacterial drugs. The categories of irrational use were mainly inappropriate usage/dosage and inappropriate route of administration. Conclusion The use of drugs in children with acute bronchial pneumonia in our hospital was basically reasonable, but there were still a few irrational prescriptions. The use of antibacterial drugs and traditional Chinese medicine injections should be strengthened to improve the rational use.
