Abstract: "Yang Wei Yin Xian" originates from "Jin Kui Yao Lue". It denotes the slight pulse at the cun pulse and the yin pulse in the yang position, which indicates a deficiency of yang qi in the upper focus. The ulnar vein is a cord, and the yin position corresponds to the yin vein, which is excessive yin pathogen in the lower jiao. Lung cancer complicated with sepsis is common in clinical practice; it is characterized by a high mortality rate and poor conventional treatment outcomes. This article discusses "Yang Wei Yin Xian" and its relationship with lung cancer complicated by sepsis, evaluates the selection of TCM prescriptions and efficacy mechanisms of "Yang Wei Yin Xian" theory, and provides a reference for the use of this theory to guide clinical treatment.
