A team approach to pain control...
Since 1989, HomeCare I.V. of Bend, Inc has been a leading advocate for patients in the appropriate management of acute and chronic pain due to injury, surgery and end-stage cancer. Our clinical staff are acknowledged experts in the management of pain. Recognizing the significant negative impact of chronic pain on the quality of life and the end stage of terminal illnesses, we take a team approach, closely with patients, their physicians and family members, to provide the most effective possible relief. Our team of expert pharmacists and nurses monitor the effectiveness of treatments and recommend changes based on their extensive clinical knowledge and experience.
Pain management therapies are usually provided using small,
computerized infusion pumps. Their size and programming
versatility allow a wide range of treatment
options
without the intrusiveness of large, pole mounted
equipment. Patients and caregivers are instructed on
their safe and appropriate use and can control the rate,
frequency and medication dosage within the limites prescribed
by the physician.
Chronic pain is sometimes managed with infusion pumps
surgically impanted by a physician. Filling the pump and
programming infusion rates is done by our 
team of
specialist nurses trained by the pump manufacturer using highly
technical and precise equipment and electronics. HomeCare
I.V. of Bend, Inc is the only facility in the region with the
equipment, training and experience required to safely and
effectively manage these devices.
