ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY
Antibiotic therapy generally is the use of antibiotics to treat, prevent or improve illness. Once a patient has been diagnosed with an infection, but has the capacity to recuperate at home, 骑趣视频鈥檚 can provide antibiotic therapy to fully facilitate the patient鈥檚 healing process within the comforts of the patient鈥檚 own home.
Some of the most common infections that may be treated with antibiotic therapy include:
- Pneumonia
- Serious cases of Sinusitis
- Bronchitis
- Osteomyelitis
- Cellulitis
- Staph infections
The delivery system for antibiotic therapy includes one of the following:
- An ambulatory pump that allows the patient to move around;
- A stationary pump that hangs from a pole and is immobile; or,
- An elastomeric pump 鈥 a disposable, automated infusion system.
骑趣视频鈥檚 requires a referral from the patient鈥檚 doctor or the hospital caseworker in order to deliver the proper medications and application equipment. 骑趣视频鈥檚 will deliver the medication, delivery system and the IV site maintenance supplies for the convenience of our patients. We coordinate patient education with the home health agency that will be attending the patient in order that the patient understands everything about the medication and the workings of the delivery system. All patients are monitored for the duration of the therapy. At 骑趣视频鈥檚, we consider ourselves the liaison for coordination of care between the physician, the pharmacist and the nursing staff.
Please contact a 骑趣视频鈥檚 representative to discuss any antibiotic therapy needs, to request additional information or to check your insurance or other available coverage.
