Intravenous (IV) infusion services encompass the administration of fluids, medications, or nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a vein. These services are crucial in various medical settings, including hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare settings, being employed for a multitude of purposes, such as hydration, antibiotic administration, pain management, chemotherapy, and nutritional support. IV infusion services offer numerous benefits, including rapid medication delivery, precise dosage control, and the ability to administer therapies that may not be feasible through other routes. Additionally, they allow patients to receive treatment comfortably in their preferred environment, whether it’s at home or in a healthcare facility.
Our team of highly qualified and experienced registerned nurses (RNs) are responsible for performing IV infusion services. They carefully monitor the patient’s condition, adjust the infusion rate as necessary, and ensure the safe delivery of medications or fluids. Overall, infusion therapy services play a vital role in managing various medical conditions and improving patients’ quality of life by providing efficient and effective therapy delivery.
Why Do I Need Infusion Therapy?
There are several reasons why a person might require infusion therapy at home:
Chronic illnesses: Individuals with chronic conditions such as autoimmune disorders; such as needing immunoglobulin (IVIG/SCIG), Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or certain types of cancers may require regular infusion therapy to manage their symptoms and slow disease progression.
Infections: Some infections require intravenous antibiotics for effective treatment. Home infusion therapy allows patients to receive these medications in the comfort of their own homes, avoiding the need for prolonged hospital stays.
Hydration: Patients who are unable to drink enough fluids orally due to conditions such as severe dehydration, vomiting, or diarrhea may require intravenous hydration therapy to maintain proper fluid balance.
Pain management: Intravenous pain medications, such as opioids or lidocaine infusions, may be prescribed for individuals experiencing severe pain that cannot be adequately managed with oral medications.
Nutritional support: Patients who are unable to eat or digest food normally, either due to medical conditions or surgical procedures, may require intravenous nutrition (total parenteral nutrition, or TPN) to meet their nutritional needs.
Chemotherapy: Some cancer treatments involve intravenous chemotherapy infusions, which can be administered at home to reduce the inconvenience and discomfort associated with frequent hospital visits.
Overall, home infusion therapy offers convenience, flexibility, and comfort for patients who require ongoing intravenous treatments, allowing them to maintain their independence and quality of life while managing their health conditions.
