[Proposal for the formation of an intravenous therapy team].
At the present time, the medical profession is succeeding not only in helping the sick live longer but to have a higher quality of life, if possible inside their family environment. This requires a serious study regarding this situation. Many patients can receive intravenous treatment in outpatient clinics whenever these have a trustworthy system to administer intravenous pharmaceuticals, a system which provides safety and comfort to the patient and ease to the professionals which administer it.
