Exploration and practice of the management of traditional Chinese medicine injections with light-protecting/shading

ObjectiveTo explore the ways to improve the management level of traditional Chinese medicine injections with light-protecting/shading.

MethodsThe Chinese medicine pharmacy injections in dispensary of traditional chinese medicine and intravenous preparation center in a hospital were examined, the distribution of nonconforming drugs were analyzed, the problem types with high proportion of unqualified drugs in TCM injections were identified and analyzed, and the corresponding management system and measures were formulated and reexamined.

ResultsA total of 37 cases of unqualified TCM injections were detected, and the main reason for the unqualified drugs was that the drugs failed to effectively avoid the light(25/37, 67.57%).One case of unqualified TCM injections without effective shading was detected by review after the intervention measure targeting at effective avoiding the light was implemented, and no effective protection from light in dismantling of traditional Chinese medicine injections significantly decreased.According to the actual situation of hospital, some light-shielding box with appropriate size and material were made, and the design patent of the shading box was applied(ZL 2015 3 0420142.9).

ConclusionsBased on the characteristics and problems of light-protecting/shading in the management of TCM injections, some practical management systems and safeguard measures are formulated, which significantly improve the management level of light-protecting/shading of Chinese medicine injections.
