Assessment of intravenous home treatment of respiratory infections of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Provinces Groningen, Drente, Friesland and Overijssel. Open study. Eleven CF patients, aged 10 to 28 years participated. Thirty episodes of home i.v. treatment with antibiotics were arranged. Differences in vital capacity (VC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and in body weight before and after treatment were compared with the same variables obtained during hospitalisation in the year before they were treated at home. Adverse events during home treatment were recorded. No differences were noted in changes in VC, FEV1 and body weight between home and hospital treatments. During 30 episodes of home treatment a new intravenous catheter had to be implanted only twice. In these 11 patients, intravenous treatment of respiratory infections at home was as efficacious as in hospital. No serious adverse events were observed |
