Outpatient intravenous antibiotic therapy is a cost-effective modality to shorten hospital stays and provide continued care to patients with infections. The recent availability of tamper-proof pumps that can deliver multiple antibiotics on independently timed regimens will further expand the use of home intravenous antibiotics. Problems with reimbursement remain, and new classes of oral antibiotics may provide alternatives to parenteral medications.
门诊静脉用抗生素治疗是一种具有成本效益的方式，可缩短住院时间并为感染患者提供持续护理。近期出现的可按独立定时方案输送多种抗生素的防篡改泵，将进一步扩大家庭静脉用抗生素的使用。报销方面的问题依然存在，新型口服抗生素可能会成为肠胃外用药的替代选择。
