Malnutrition is a major clinical condition that can arise from various causes including gastrointestinal dysfunctions, surgery, or cancer. Patients with wide ranging medical conditions rely on the use of total parenteral nutrition (TPN). However, TPN infusion pumps can sometimes compromise the patient’s quality of life by giving them less independence or mobility. BD’s comprehensive TPN solution can provide a minimal impact to your patient’s lifestyle while helping improve safety and flexible expectations.₁
Discharging patients from the hospital to finish long antibiotic treatments at home is a practice that not only saves costs for the institution, but also allows the patient to regain a sense of freedom. IV antibiotics gain faster access to the blood by bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. They are often clinically perceived as being the most effective way to quickly administer treatments for infections in the lungs, bones and brain or to treat patients with chronic conditions such as cystic fibrosis.₂
