Intralipid Intravenous lipid emulsion therapy Lipid emulsion Local anesthetic systemic toxicity. It is believed that a lipid emulsion creates a lipid plasma phase that extracts the lipid-soluble bupivacaine from the aqueous plasma phase, making it unavailable to tissues. The education of clinicians regarding the beneficial and varied roles of Intralipid therapy in different clinical settings is warranted, particularly in terms of the potential for Intralipid therapy to reverse the toxicities of non-local anesthetic drugs. These case reports included 49 separate drug overdose cases involving ten separate drug classes which were successfully reversed with Intralipid. To meet the objective of describing the growing number of indications for Intralipid therapy and any diverse effects and/or failures of Intralipid therapy in reversing multiple drug toxicities, we queried several Internet search engines with the key words 'intravenous lipid emulsion therapy,' 'Intralipid,' 'lipid emulsion,' and 'local anesthetic systemic toxicity,' resulting in the identification of 31 case reports for descriptive analysis. These recom-mendations are based on the results of four systematic reviews,14 derived from a comprehensive analysis of the published evidence and further followed by an expert consensus. Some of these varied drug groups include antipsychotics, antidepressants, antiarrhythmics, and calcium channel blockers. She was given 20 intravenous lipid emulsion therapy and red blood cell (RBC) transfusion as adjunctive therapy with favourable outcome. tions regarding the use of intravenous lipid emulsion therapy in poisoning for a preselected set of toxins. This activity reviews the indications, action, and contraindications for lipid emulsion therapy as a valuable agent in the management of local anesthetic toxicity. Journal of Medical Toxicology 2008 4(3):184-191.Intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE Intralipid) therapy, a standard treatment in local anesthetic toxicity, has demonstrated therapeutic efficacies for a number of different drug class-mediated toxicities. Lipid emulsion therapy is a relatively new rescue treatment for cardiovascular collapse from lipophilic drug poisoning. Lipid emulsion therapy is a medication used in the management and treatment of Local anesthetic toxicity. Intravenous lipid emulsion for local anaesthetic toxicity: a review of the literature. Furthermore, case reports in humans have described the use of lipid therapy to reverse the toxicity of other lipophilic drugs. Journal of Medical Toxicology 2008 4(2):109-114. Intravenous lipid emulsion therapy is an emerging antidote for local anesthetic toxicity, and there is animal evidence that lipid therapy may be efficacious in TCA overdose. I ntravenous fat emulsion: a potential novel antidote. Intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) is increasingly used for the treatment of poisoning caused.

Lipid rescue resuscitation from local anaesthetic cardiac toxicity. Guidelines for the management of severe local anaesthetic toxicity. The Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland.Therapeutic end points include return of spontaneous circulation and stabilisation of haemodynamics (infusions may need to be restarted if hypotension returns post cessation).Increase to 0.5 ml/kg/minute if hypotension persists, doses above 8ml/kg are unlikely to be beneficial.If patient remains unstable, reBolus once or twice more (after 5minutes) and double infusion rate. Infuse IVLE 0.25 ml/kg/minute until haemodynamic stability is restored The American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management recommends: Lipid Emulsion 20, 1.5 mL/kg (100 mL if > 70 kg) BOLUS over 2-3 minutes.Repeat bolus at 3-5 minute intervals if required (x2 max) then British Journal of Nutrition (2005), 94, 909916 q The Authors 2005 DOI: 10.1079/BJN20051550 A 3-month double-blind randomised study comparing an olive oil- with a soyabean oil-based intravenous lipid emulsion in home parenteral nutrition patients K.Give 1-1.5 ml/kg IVLE 20% as an IV bolus over 1 minute.It may also have a role when standard therapy has failed in the arrest of a propranolol, tricyclic antidepressant and verapamil overdose (limited evidence). It is a novel antidote which requires further study but may have a role to play in the resuscitation of patients with refractory cardiac arrest induced by local anaesthetics that are resistant to standard protocols. Intravenous lipid emulsion (IVLE) is a sterile emulsion of soyabean oil in water, used in parenteral nutrition.
