Home intravenous antibiotic therapy (HIVAT) has proven to be a safe, effective, and cost-saving method to treat appropriately selected patients with bone, soft tissue, respiratory, genitourinary, and cardiac infections. Further, the acceptance of HIVAT by both physicians and patients has been enhanced by the availability of new venous access devices and home IV therapy companies. In determining when to use HIVAT, it is important to carefully consider the individual patient, the disease or medical condition, and antibiotic selection. HIVAT requires a team approach, with the physician, pharmacist, IV therapy nurse, and others playing critical roles in successful treatment plans.
家庭静脉抗生素治疗（HIVAT）已被证明是一种安全、有效且节省成本的方法，可用于治疗经适当挑选的患有骨、软组织、呼吸道、泌尿生殖系统和心脏感染的患者。此外，新型静脉通路装置和家庭静脉治疗公司的出现提高了医生和患者对HIVAT的接受度。在确定何时使用HIVAT时，仔细考虑个体患者、疾病或医疗状况以及抗生素选择非常重要。HIVAT需要团队协作，医生、药剂师、静脉治疗护士和其他人员在成功的治疗方案中发挥关键作用。
