The procedure is the same whichever drip you choose, and so is the clinical care, whether the session is at your home or at your hotel.
1Before
Before the day, a doctor reviews your health form in a screening consultation (by video call if needed) and writes your individual prescription. On site, we go through the form with you: allergies, medication, health conditions and pregnancy. We check your blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation and temperature. If anything is not right, the session does not go ahead and we explain why.
2During
The IV catheter is placed with sterile, single-use equipment. The nurse stays with you from start to finish, keeps an eye on how you are doing, checks your vital signs halfway through and at the end, and adjusts the infusion rate. If any reaction appears, the infusion is stopped and the situation is assessed. You can stop the session at any time, without having to explain why.
3After
We remove the IV catheter, apply pressure to the site and keep you under observation for at least 15 minutes (30 minutes if the drip contains medication). We give you written guidance on what may come up over the next few hours, when to call 112 and the precautions to take: after drips with magnesium or medication, do not drive for the next 4 to 6 hours. We stay reachable for the rest of the day.
