Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction is a potential drug for Shaoyin disease complicated with fever and pain. Tracheal intubation is an artificial ephedrine syndrome.

Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction is effective in the treatment of sick sinus syndrome,second degree atrioventricular block and third degree atrioventricular block. It can significantly alleviate symptoms,improve heart rate,and heart rhythm in a short period of time. However,after one year of drug withdrawal,the diseases may recur,indicating that Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction may not improve the long-term prognosis of slow arrhythmia. Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction is often used for fever or nosocomial infection in critical care medicine. In the treatment of critical care medicine complicated with high fever,Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction is often taken continuously by stomach tube.
