A 49-year-old man, with a history of hepatitis type B and C infection, suffered from influenza complicated with acute respiratory failure in early February 2016. He was treated with endotracheal tube and ventilator to keep his respiration fluent in other hospital for 1 month. He was transferred to Tzu Chi intensive care unit on March 16th 2016 for the following weaning process. In the intensive care unit, he suffered from the extubation because of incomplete remission of pneumonia, and concurrent bacteremia though treated by antibiotics and antiviral drugs continuously. However, at the night of 2016/4/13, he appeared hallucinations and delirium after severe insomnia. According to his poor responses to the treatment and the request of family, they consulted traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on 2016/4/15.
