LIPID RESCUE
Dr. Guy Weinberg
"LipidRescue™ resuscitation refers to the use of an intravascular infusion of a lipid emulsion to treat severe, systemic drug toxicity or poisoning. It was originally developed to treat local anesthetic toxicity, a potentially fatal complication of regional anesthesia that can also occur in other situations where patients receive local anesthetic injections. More recently, LipidRescue has been proposed (in articles in the ER literature and elsewhere) as a treatment modality for poisoning or overdose by lipophilic agents in general. "
