The experience within the past ten years at Methodist Hospital and Park Nicollet Medical Center, Minneapolis, has clearly demonstrated that outpatient intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapy can be undertaken with relative ease and results in substantial cost savings. During this time, no significant morbidity and no mortality associated with this modality have occurred. Patients of all ages with bone, joint, skin, or soft-tissue infection and other infectious diseases such as meningitis have participated. Patient compliance and enthusiasm have been high. Necessary elements for such a program include an enthusiastic medical staff, a central admixture service, and a team of nurses or other health care professionals available for IV cannula care. Careful patient selection, education, and follow-up are also essential. We believe use of outpatient IV antibiotic therapy will continue to grow in the future, in part because of changes in the financing of medical care.
明尼阿波利斯市卫理公会医院和公园尼科莱特医疗中心过去十年的经验清楚地表明，门诊静脉注射抗生素治疗相对容易实施，且能大幅节省成本。在此期间，未出现与这种治疗方式相关的重大发病率和死亡率。所有年龄段患有骨、关节、皮肤或软组织感染以及其他传染病（如脑膜炎）的患者都参与了治疗。患者的依从性和积极性都很高。开展这样一个项目的必要要素包括热情的医务人员、中央混合调配服务以及一组可提供静脉插管护理的护士或其他医护专业人员。仔细的患者选择、教育和随访也至关重要。我们相信，门诊静脉注射抗生素治疗在未来将继续发展，部分原因是医疗保健融资方面的变化。
