Step by step

How does home IV infusion work?

  1. Specialist prescription and logistics

    IV infusion at home is organised on specialist or hospital prescription. I coordinate the preparation of equipment and medications with the pharmacy or designated supplier.

  2. Setting up venous access and preparation

    At your home, I place or check the venous access, prepare infusion bags under strict aseptic conditions and check medication compatibility.

  3. Administration and monitoring

    The infusion is administered at the prescribed rate and duration. I monitor tolerance (allergic reaction, phlebitis, extravasation) throughout the treatment.

  4. End of infusion and record-keeping

    At the end of the infusion, I flush the venous line, dispose of used materials according to clinical waste regulations and send a report to the prescriber.

Indications

What types of IV infusion?

IV antibiotic infusion at home allows you to continue an intravenous antibiotic course after hospital discharge, avoiding a prolonged inpatient stay. It is used for bone infections, severe skin infections or certain cases of endocarditis.

Osteoporosis treatment by infusion (zoledronic acid, Zometa, Aclasta) is administered once a year at home on rheumatology prescription. This alternative to oral medication is suitable for patients with digestive intolerance to bisphosphonates.

Intravenous rehydration is indicated for severe dehydration in frail patients (elderly, immunocompromised) who cannot hydrate sufficiently by mouth. It is prescribed as part of strict medical supervision.

FAQ

Questions about home IV infusion

Who can prescribe home IV infusion?
IV infusion at home is prescribed by a specialist (infectious disease specialist, rheumatologist, oncologist, nephrologist…) or on hospital discharge. The prescription must specify the product, dose, rate and duration of treatment. Your GP can then manage follow-up once treatment is in place.
Do I need to arrange any special equipment at home?
No, I bring or coordinate all necessary equipment: infusion bags, lines, antiseptics, and placement materials. For long-term treatments, a home healthcare provider (PSAD) may set up specific equipment (pumps, stands). You do not need to arrange anything yourself.
How long does an infusion session last?
Duration varies depending on the treatment: from a few tens of minutes for certain antibiotics, up to several hours for osteoporosis treatment (zoledronic acid). The exact duration is specified on your prescription. I remain present throughout the infusion to monitor your tolerance.
Are there particular risks with home IV infusion?
As with any medical procedure, infusion carries minor risks (vein irritation, discomfort at the puncture site) and, more rarely, allergic reactions. My presence throughout the session allows me to detect and manage any sign of intolerance immediately. In the event of a serious reaction, I apply the emergency protocol and contact the emergency services.
