What is infusion therapy?
Home infusion therapy involves the administration of medications using
intravenous, subcutaneous, and epidural routes (into the bloodstream,
under the skin, and into the membranes surrounding the spinal cord).
Drug therapies commonly administered via infusion include:
- Antibiotics
- Chemotherapy
- pain management
- parenteral nutrition
- immune globulin
Diagnoses commonly requiring infusion therapy include infections that are
unresponsive to oral antibiotics; cancer and cancer-related pain; gastrointestinal
diseases or disorders; congestive heart failure; immune disorders; growth
hormone deficiencies; and more.
Why are infusions performed at home?
With heightened emphasis on cost-effectiveness in health care, clinicians
began to search for strategies to eliminate or reduce costly inpatient
stays. For individuals requiring long-term therapy, inpatient care is
tremendously expensive and prevents normal lifestyle and work activities.
For most patients, receiving treatment at home or in an outpatient clinic
setting is preferable to inpatient care.
