Infusion therapy

Innovative infusion-detoxification therapy in the treatment of severe diseases

In recent years, the profile of our patients has become considerably more severe. A growing burden of concomitant somatic pathology, progressive multidrug resistance, hormonal dysfunction, near-universal impairment of gastrointestinal function and a number of other factors have created major difficulties in managing patients on an outpatient basis with oral medications.

The search for alternative routes of administering therapeutic regimens led us to the active use of infusion therapy. Infusion therapy is a treatment method based on introducing solutions into the bloodstream in order to promote the patient's recovery or improve their condition. Infusion-detoxification therapy is a combined method involving intravenous administration of the medications used in antigen load reduction protocols together with the simultaneous addition of detoxification agents.

The main advantage of detoxification therapy is the high bioavailability of the medications. With oral drugs, the active substances must pass through the gastrointestinal tract, be absorbed and undergo hepatic biotransformation, so that only 10–15% of the dose taken produces an effect. With intravenous drip administration, it is more than 90%. The active substances do not have to travel the long absorption route through the gastrointestinal tract. Intravenous drip administration also causes side effects less often, and breakdown products are eliminated from the body faster and more easily.

High-volume intravenous administration of medications makes infusion therapy the most intensive treatment method available. Selecting the regimen and dosages for a specific infusion protocol is a critical responsibility of the attending physician or the medical board.

In general, our infusion programs include the following components:

1. Antigen load reduction agents: antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal drugs;
2. Detoxification agents: solutions for intravenous drip administration intended to restore normal plasma volume and normal blood rheology (fluidity, coagulability and other blood characteristics), remove toxic substances and restore the detoxification capacity of the liver and kidneys;
3. Metabolic agents: electrolyte solutions, combined vitamin and mineral preparations, nutrients, enzymes and cofactor systems;
4. Immunological agents: intravenous administration of immunomodulators and immunosuppressants, immunoglobulin therapy, etc.;

Preparing for infusion-detoxification therapy:

• The innovative infusion-detoxification treatment program is provided on an outpatient basis and strictly following a consultation with the clinic's attending physician;
• Infusion-detoxification therapy is provided strictly by prior appointment and is agreed with the attending physician and the patient care service
• When the upcoming admission is discussed, the requested medical records needed for the treatment and for the consultation/medical board must be sent in electronic form in advance, including printed copies of the reports issued by the clinic's attending physician (see the section on preparing for a consultation)
• The attending physician draws up a treatment plan in advance on a separate form, including the list of recommended tests and procedures, their duration, frequency and so on.
• Based on the list of indicated procedures, an individual visit plan and a cost estimate are drawn up, and budget matters and payment methods are discussed.
• The schedule of procedures may change during treatment depending on the clinical situation.
• Important! Our clinic is not equipped for resuscitation; if a patient develops an acute life-threatening condition, they are transferred to a multidisciplinary hospital with an intensive care unit.
