Abstract

Home use of continuous peripheral nerve block has increased rapidly in recent years. Factors to consider when setting up a home infusion program include patient selection, equipment, medications, and management of common problems. Attention to the steps outlined in this paper will help anesthesiologists make a comprehensive patient assessment plan, facilitate patient and caregiver education, and assist patients in completing their course of peripheral nerve catheter infusion therapy at home.
