Home infusion nurses deliver complex therapies in non-traditional settings, often without immediate access to emergency support. This session equips infusion nurses with evidence-based strategies to recognize and manage 3 common and potentially overlapping complications: infusion-related reactions, symptomatic hypoglycemia, and vasovagal responses.  

Drawing from structured clinical guidelines, participants will learn to perform assessments, apply medication administration protocols, and follow escalation pathways tailored for the home environment. Learners will leave with a structured framework for clinical decision-making, patient safety, and communication with providers and emergency medical services (EMS). 

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, learners will be able to:  

• Describe the clinical presentation of infusion-related reactions, hypoglycemia, and vasovagal events in home infusion care 
• Discuss structured clinical response protocols for managing each complication, including rescue medication and escalation procedures 
• Explain how to differentiate overlapping symptoms to guide appropriate intervention and escalation 
• Apply documentation and communication best practices following an adverse event in the home setting
