Can anyone tell me how they do this for private patients – how do you
send them home on the infusors, and do the health funds agree to pay for
this?
Thanks,
Helen.
(If you want to mention any specific health funds, please reply to me
privately).

Morning all,
We are using AB infusers for post op ortho knees and hips. It works
well for them.
Cheers, Andrea

I would love to use infusor therapy for inpatient A/B administration.
But with the administration of multiple parenteral medications, how
would you get around that, apart from the use of a multi-lumen
catheter?

For in or outpatient therapy?
We use it for outpatient therapy only, but I would love to have it for
some inpatients as well.
However, with multi antibiotic administration, its not usually
feasible.
