Pediatric Infusion Therapy

Treatments/Procedures:

• IV biologics to suppress immune system overactivity
• Corticosteroids delivered through infusion during flare-ups
• Immunoglobulin therapy for immune system support

Treatments/Procedures:

• IV antibiotics for targeted, effective infection control
• Immune-boosting therapies for immunocompromised children

Treatments/Procedures:

Crohn's disease, also called regional enteritis, is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that causes redness, swelling, and sores in the digestive tract. It most often affects the lower part of the small intestine, but it can also involve the colon and other parts of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, appendix, and anus. Crohn's disease can develop at any age but often starts in adolescence or early adulthood.

Treatments/Procedures:

Infusion therapy plays a vital role in managing genetic disorders by delivering life-changing treatments directly into the bloodstream. These include:

• Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT): Restores missing or deficient enzymes to treat metabolic and lysosomal storage disorders like Gaucher disease or Fabry disease.
• Gene Therapy: A cutting-edge approach that targets the underlying genetic mutation to correct or manage the condition.
• Specialized Medications: Administered to address symptoms or complications, such as anemia, inflammation, or organ damage.

Treatments/Procedures:

Infusion therapy treats iron deficiency by delivering iron directly into the bloodstream, quickly restoring levels and improving oxygen transport. Common intravenous iron treatments, such as ferric carboxymaltose or iron sucrose, help replenish iron stores for those who cannot tolerate oral supplements or need faster results. This therapy supports hemoglobin production, boosts energy levels, and enhances overall health.

Treatments/Procedures:

• Iron infusions to quickly restore iron levels
• Monitoring and follow-up to ensure long-term improvement

Treatments/Procedures:

Infusion therapy can help manage sickle cell anemia by relieving pain, improving blood flow, and reducing complications. Treatment may include blood transfusions, pain management infusions, and medications like hydroxyurea. Regular blood transfusions increase healthy red blood cells, lowering the risk of complications.

Treatments/Procedures:

Antibiotic infusion therapy involves administering the appropriate antibiotics intravenously. The treatment is tailored to target the specific infection and typically requires ongoing monitoring by healthcare professionals to ensure the infection responds to the medication and to adjust the therapy if needed.

Treatments/Procedures:

Infusion therapy uses transfusions to give red blood cells, plasma, platelets, or other blood products through an IV. This treatment helps the body by replacing blood, improving clotting, and bringing oxygen to tissues, helping patients feel better quickly.

Treatments/Procedures:

• IV chemotherapy to target cancer cells
• IV fluids to stay hydrated and protect organs
• IV anti-nausea medications to reduce discomfort
• Medications to help prevent infection or improve blood counts

Treatments/Procedures:

During the test, a child receives medications through an IV infusion to stimulate GH production. Blood samples are then taken over a few hours to measure hormone levels. The results help doctors determine if a child needs treatment, such as growth hormone therapy, to support healthy growth

Treatments/Procedures:

PICC line and port maintenance involve routine flushing with saline or heparin to prevent clots and blockages. Regular cleaning and monitoring help reduce the risk of infection and ensure the device remains functional for ongoing infusion treatments.

Treatments/Procedures:

During an iron infusion, a healthcare professional administers iron intravenously, allowing the body to quickly absorb and replenish its iron stores. This treatment is typically performed over several sessions, depending on the severity of the deficiency.
