  • Title: Administering intravenous antibiotics at home.
    Author: Flynn S.
    Journal: Prof Nurse; 1999 Mar; 14(6):399-402. PubMed ID: 10205537.
    Abstract:
    Many patients with orthopaedic infections spend weeks or months in hospital for administration of i.v. antibiotics. Peripherally inserted central venous catheters can be used to give patients their medication at home. Some patients can be taught to administer their own antibiotics, relieving pressure of work in hospitals and the community and encouraging multidisciplinary practice.
