Objective To observe the effect of Xuebijing on coagulation function in patients with sepsis. Methods Sixty-two patients with severe sepsis were admitted to Department of Emergency and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Kunming Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February 2015 to June 2017, and they were divided into Xuebijing group and routine treatment control group according to the random number table method, 31 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with symptomatic supportive therapy, and the Xuebijing group was treated with Xuebijing injection 50 mL intravenous drip on the basis of routine treatment, twice a day for consecutive 7 days. The differences in platelet count (PLT), 5 items of coagulation: D-dimer, fibrinogen (Fib), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHE Ⅱ) score were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results After treatment, in both groups, the levels of PLT and Fib were significantly higher than those before treatment, the level of D-dimer, APACHE Ⅱ were obviously lower than those before treatment, APTT, PT and TT were significantly shorter than those before treatment, and the changes in Xuebijing group were more marked than those in the routine treatment control group [PLT (×109/L):186.63±45.29 vs. 119.96±59.76, Fib (g/L): 3.88±1.82 vs. 2.33±1.33, D-dimer (mg/L): 0.40±0.11 vs. 0.65±0.14, APTT (s): 30.95±8.48 vs. 42.25±7.73, PT (s): 10.97±1.51 vs. 13.16±2.22, TT (s): 16.17±1.28 vs. 18.98±1.12, APACHE Ⅱ score: 6.62±2.91 vs. 12.87±4.54, all P ＜ 0.05]. Conclusion Xuebijing can regulate coagulation disorder in patients with severe sepsis, ameliorate the disease condition of patients, block the deterioration of disease development, and improve the prognosis of patients.
