Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
- Can a structured training program in administration of intravenous fluids and antibiotics lead to a reduced number of admissions and days in hospitals among nursing home residents?
- Can treatment with intravenous fluids or antibiotics in nursing homes provide an equally good or better patient trajectory compared to patients hospitalized for the same treatment? We will look at duration of symptoms, direct and indirect complications, and mortality rates.
- Can treatment costs for the public health service be reduced when patients are treated with intravenous fluids and /or antibiotics in the nursing home instead of being admitted to the hospital?
- Can treatment for dehydration and infections in the nursing home rather than in a hospital provide an equally or better satisfaction in patients, next of kin and staff?
- How are difficult ethical issues handeld by medical staff at the nursing homes and the hospital when nursing home patients receive intravenous treatment?

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Usual care
Nursing home residents who require intravenous fluids and intravenous antibiotics was treated as usual (hospital admissions for intravenous treatment). In control nursing homes that had not completed the training program (intervention period), nursing home residents who require intravenous fluids and intravenous antibiotics was treated as usual. The majority of these patients were admitted to hospital for intravenous treatment. A few nursing homes or nursing home departments had sufficient expertise and capacity to provide treatment locally. |

Other: A training program in iv treatment
A structured training program in intravenous treatment in nursing homes: Each of 30 participating nursing homes sequentially received theory and practical training in intravenous treatment. In nursing homes that had completed the training program (intervention period), and had sufficient expertise and capacity, nursing home residents in need of intravenous fluids or antibiotics were treated locally; otherwise they were hospitalized. |
