What Is IV Therapy and Infusion?

IV (Intravenous) therapy involves delivering fluids, medications, and essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, ensuring rapid absorption and effectiveness. Infusion therapy is a broader term encompassing IV therapy, including treatments like hydration, medication administration, and Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN).

Our In-Home IV Therapy and Infusion Services

We offer a comprehensive range of IV therapy and infusion services designed to support various medical conditions and wellness goals:

  • Hydration Therapy: Rapidly replenishes fluids and electrolytes, preventing dehydration and improving overall body function.
  • Vitamin and Nutrient Infusions: Delivers essential vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream, enhancing immunity, energy levels, and overall health.
  • Medication Administration: Ensures the safe and effective delivery of prescribed medications for infections, chronic illnesses, and pain management.
  • Parenteral Nutrition, including TPN: Provides essential nutrients intravenously to individuals unable to consume food orally, ensuring they receive adequate nutrition to maintain health and energy levels.

Understanding Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN)

Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) is a specialized form of IV therapy designed for individuals who cannot obtain proper nutrition through oral or enteral feeding. It is a life-sustaining therapy for patients with conditions such as:

  • Gastrointestinal disorders preventing food absorption (e.g., Crohn’s disease, short bowel syndrome)
  • Severe malnutrition or inability to maintain weight
  • Post-surgical patients requiring prolonged nutritional support

TPN contains a carefully balanced mix of essential nutrients, including:

  • Carbohydrates: Providing energy through glucose or dextrose.
  • Proteins (Amino Acids): Supporting muscle maintenance and tissue repair.
  • Fats (Lipids): Delivering essential fatty acids for energy and cellular function.
  • Electrolytes & Minerals: Maintaining balance and preventing deficiencies.
  • Vitamins & Trace Elements: Ensuring proper metabolic functions.

Our experienced healthcare team closely monitors TPN administration to prevent complications and ensure optimal nutritional support tailored to each patient’s needs.
