Intravenous fat emulsion: A potential novel antidote

Abstract: Intravenous fat emulsions (IFE) are traditionally used as a component of parenteral nutrition therapy. Recently, IFE was used to resuscitate severe local anesthetic drug toxicity. This review focuses on the potential role of IFE in treatment of toxicity due to local anesthetics and other lipid-soluble drugs. The general properties of IFE, metabolic fate, and associated adverse events are described. Cases of local anesthetic toxicity treated with IFE are presented along with a discussion of the possible antidot… Show more

“…This alteration was described as one of the side effects of LE when a dose higher than 100 mg.kg -1 .h was used or when LE was given to patients with previous pulmonary disease 27 . Finally, other side effects of lipid emulsions have been described: risk of infection, allergic reactions especially in soy oil emulsions, thrombophlebitis, increased amylase, hyperlipidemia, hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and fat embolus 19 .…”

“…Since its introduction in 1961, intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) has evolved from a component of total parenteral nutrition, to a drug delivery vehicle, to its most recent role as an adjunct in resuscitation of local anesthetic induced cardiovascular collapse [1]. Current literature strongly supports the administration of ILE to patients who develop cardiac arrest after receiving an overdose of a local anesthetic such as bupivacaine [2][3][4].…”

“…Several mechanisms have been proposed for ILE's antidotal properties including the creation of an expanded lipid compartment in the blood and the modulation of myocardial electrolyte concentrations and/or energy supply [1]. How it reverses the effects of toxic agents or how it may affect subsequently administered therapeutic maneuvers is not clear.…”
