Blood Component Therapy

The goal of blood component therapy is to achieve the desired effect without adverse outcomes. These effects may be to increase oxygen carrying capacity, correct coagulation factor deficiencies, or provide cellular components.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is a treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

IV Therapy Including Antibiotics

IV (intravenous) therapy is a method of delivering fluids, nutrition, and medications, including antibiotics, to patients via a catheter and a needle. This is most often done in the hospital, although it can be done in the home when long-term care is needed.

This maintenance includes regular flushing of the of IV lines, weekly changing of the dressing and cap, and proper hand washing before touching the line or any of the supplies.

Wound Care for Post-Operative and Traumatic/Puncture Wounds

Wound care involves every stage of wound management. This includes diagnosing wound type, considering factors that affect wound healing, and the proper treatments for wound management.
