Morning all,

We are using AB infusers for post op ortho knee’s 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, it’s not usually feasible.

Good morning all,

I’m just interested to know how many organizations are using the prefilled antibiotic infusors?? If any??

Kind Regards
