Inotropics
This cardiac therapy is used most often to alleviate symptoms associated with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
With Congestive Heart Failure, patients’ hearts do not pump effectively, causing them to wear out. With inotropic therapy, administered through an infusion pump, the nurses at Advanced Home Care are able to increase the heart’s ability to contract, thus increasing cardiac output. Similarly, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients benefit from a continuous infusion of inotropics to help improve blood flow and oxygen delivery through the body.
