Infusion Services Infusion services are provided in many different settings. At Fort Sanders Regional Infusion Services, we offer both ambulatory infusion services and home infusion services. Ambulatory Infusion Ambulatory infusion is the service provided in a medical setting that helps patients receive needed intravenous medications in an outpatient environment. Patients come in to the Infusion Services area, located on the 3rd floor of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, and receive their medication which is administered by trained staff. Beginning May 5, 2008, Fort Sanders Regional Infusion Services will add a new location at Thompson Cancer Survival Center. Focused primarily on the administration of outpatient chemotherapy medications, the Fort Sanders Regional Infusion Services will serve many of the chemotherapy needs of cancer patients at Fort Sanders Regional and Thompson Cancer Survival Center. Home Infusion With advances in infusion technology, many types of infusion therapy can be delivered in the patient's home. Clinical pharmacists and nurse consultants are specially trained in home infusion therapy and work together with the physician to develop a plan of care for the patient. Patients and caregivers also receive education about their treatment plan to help them become as independent as possible. Home infusion therapies include: Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Therapy Antibiotics, Antivirals and Antiprotozoals Anticoagulants Biological Response Modifiers Chemotherapy Corticosteroid Therapy Growth Hormone Therapy Hydration and Antiemetics Immunoglobulin Therapy Injectable Medications Inotropic Therapy Pain Management Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition
