Objective To explore the application of pharmaceutical intervention in Department of Respiratory Medicine and its impact on the use of antimicrobials. Methods According to the time of the pharmaceutical intervention, 50 inpatients from January to December 2020 (before the pharmaceutical intervention) were assigned as the control group, and 50 inpatients from January to December 2021 (after the pharmaceutical intervention) were assigned as the study group. The control group was treated with conventional antimicrobials, based on which the study group was given pharmaceutical intervention additionally. The combination, irrational use, defined daily dose system (DDDs), and drug utilization index (DUI) of antimicrobials were compared between the two groups. Results The antimobial treatment, with one, two, three, and more antimicrobials, in the study group was better than that in the control group, the proportion of irrational antimicrobial use and the antimicrobial DDDs and DUI in the stuoly group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion Pharmaceutical intervention can rationally guide the antimicrobial treatment and optimize the irrational use of antimicrobials for inpatients in the Department of Respiratory Medicine.
