The process

What to expect

01

Equipment preparation

The nurse checks the prescription, prepares the infusion (antibiotic, nutrition, hydration), verifies expiry dates and sets up sterile supplies.

02

IV line insertion

Insertion or check of the peripheral cannula or implanted port. The nurse confirms good venous return and rules out signs of phlebitis.

03

Administration and monitoring

Flow rate set per prescription, clinical monitoring throughout the infusion: allergic reactions, extravasation, vital signs.

04

Line removal and traceability

At the end of the infusion the line is flushed and removed. The drug batch number, flow rate and any events are recorded in the care file.

The benefits

Hospital-grade treatment at home

Finish your antibiotics, hydration or infusion in your own bed instead of occupying a hospital chair for days on end.

Safety from first drop to last

A licensed nurse works under strict aseptic technique, watches for reactions and manages the line, so the treatment is as safe as on a ward.

Your day stays your own

Visits are timed around your routine, freeing you from waiting rooms and travel between doses.

Patient profile

Who is this for

Intravenous antibiotic therapy

Your doctor has prescribed IV antibiotics for a severe infection but your condition allows treatment at home rather than in hospital.

Parenteral nutrition

You cannot eat normally and need daily nutritional infusions under nursing supervision.

Home chemotherapy

Your chemotherapy protocol is compatible with home administration, in a more comfortable setting than a day-hospital unit.

Clinical details

Home intravenous therapy is a technical nursing procedure requiring strict asepsis and constant clinical monitoring. The nurse checks the patient's identity, prescription concordance, route of administration and prescribed flow rate (5 Rights protocol). Peripheral cannula insertion follows a strict aseptic protocol: hand hygiene, 4-step skin antisepsis (cleansing, rinsing, antiseptic application, drying), secure fixation and date-of-insertion labelling. Implanted ports are accessed with dedicated Huber needles. During the infusion, the nurse monitors for complications: allergic reaction (urticaria, dyspnoea, hypotension), extravasation (pain, swelling at the injection site), phlebitis (painful venous cord) and catheter-related sepsis (fever, rigors). Any adverse event is reported immediately to the prescribing doctor.

Frequently asked questions

  • Commonly prescribed intravenous antibiotics, rehydration, certain infusions and supportive treatments can be delivered at home. We work strictly from your doctor’s prescription and protocol.

  • Yes, when carried out by a nurse licensed for intravenous lines using sterile technique. The nurse monitors you during the infusion and is covered by professional liability insurance.

  • You are given clear instructions and our 24/7 number. If the line blocks, leaks or the site becomes painful or red, we send a nurse promptly and inform your doctor.

Six weeks of IV antibiotics at home instead of hospital. The nurse arrived every morning at 8, set up the drip and stayed until it was done. I was able to carry on living normally.
