Role of a Home-visit Nursing Agency in Supporting Patients with Heart Failure on Continuous Catecholamine Infusion: A Case Series Study.
This study shows the complexities of providing home-based care for patients with heart failure requiring continuous catecholamine infusion. Most patients with heart failure were able to spend the rest of their lives at home, despite the challenges of managing such a treatment outside the hospital. Our findings indicate the need for early intervention, multidisciplinary collaboration, and the development of home care protocols to optimize treatment efficacy and the quality of life of these patients.
