Long term outpatient intravenous antibiotic therapy for orthopedic patients
Abstract:
This study evaluates the feasibility of outpatient intravenous antibiotic therapy in orthopedic patients. A team was organized to run the outpatient antibiotic therapy program and criteria were outlined for the selection of patients. A total of 16 patients were treated in this manner. A substantial reduction in health care cost was achieved without sacrificing quality. We conclude that outpatient intravenous antibiotic therapy is safe and effective in controlling infection and that it decreases the health care cost.
