Abstract: Objective To establish the standard for evaluation of clinical use of traditional Chinese medicine injections for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Methods According to the National Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China (2020 edition), the Drug Catalogues for National Basic Medical Insurance, Work-related Injury Insurance and Maternity Insurance (2021), the Guidelines for Clinical Application of Proprietary Chinese Medicine for Coronary Heart Disease (2020 edition) and the Guidelines for Clinical Application of Proprietary Chinese Medicine for Heart Failure (2021), all TCM injections for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis were sorted out. According to drug instructions, guidelines and clinical use, the indicators for evaluation were identified, and the standard for evaluation was established using the Delphi method. Data on TCM injections for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis used in the Department of Cardiology between January 1 and June 30, 2022 was collected. The Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution was used for evaluation. Results A total of 21 indications of TCM injections for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis were included before primary and secondary evaluation indexes were established in terms of indications, solvents, usage and dosage, excipients, compatibility and special populations. According to the results of evaluation, 107 patients (89.17%) with Ci≥60% were identified from among 120 patients receiving TCM injections for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, indicating that the usage of these TCM injections in the Department of Cardiology was generally proper. Conclusion The establishment of a standard for evaluation can help improve the rationality of the way in which TCM injections for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis are used.
