or <em>iv<\/em> therapy, and it involves patients wearing a small pump that delivers the therapy directly into their veins via a line.<\/p><p>the medications delivered in this way are called <a href=\"\/\/www.aselpijama.com\/treatment-for-pulmonary-hypertension\/intravenous-prostanoids\/\">prostanoids<\/a>, and they include<em> iloprost <\/em>and <em>epoprostenol<\/em>. although these drugs are very effective, patients need comprehensive training to ensure they can manage their pump and line, safely and effectively at home.<\/p><p>around one in 20 people with ph are on iv medication, but this number will grow as the population grows. therefore, it\u2019s crucial that specialist centres ensure these patients get the best outcomes from this treatment, and funding is being sought by the sheffield pulmonary vascular disease unit to enable research to be carried out in this area.<\/p><p>to support the funding bid, in october 2023 we conducted an online survey to find out whether patients would value the research. <\/p><p class=\"has-purple-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c9869ee3dd78f6c32773fbf59ba36e39\"><strong>100% of those surveyed said they think this
