ReviewLipid Emulsion Treatment for Drug Toxicity Caused by Nonlocal Anesthetic Drug in Pediatric Patients: A Narrative Review.
Lipid emulsion (LE) has been used to treat children with cardiovascular collapse induced by toxic doses of nonlocal anesthetics with high lipid solubility. We aimed to analyze case reports on LE administration for resuscitation of toxicity induced by these drugs in pediatric patients. ⋯ Lipid emulsion treatment may be effective in ameliorating intractable cardiovascular depression when systemic toxicity caused by drugs, including cardiac sodium channel blockers, is unresponsive to supportive treatments.
