Home intravenous diuretic administration for heart failure management: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Heart failure (HF) significantly impacts healthcare systems due to high rates of hospital bed utilization and readmission rates. Chronic HF often leads to frequent hospitalizations due to recurrent exacerbations and a decline in patient health status. Intravenous (IV) diuretic administration is essential for treating worsening HF. Emerging strategies include home-based IV diuretic therapy administration; however, limited practical implementation guidance is available. This scoping review aims to summarize the literature on home IV diuretic administration for HF patients, focusing on the interventions' characteristics, and facilitators and barriers to its implementation.

Methods

This review followed the scoping review framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley and P
