چکیده

We report the case of a 29-year-old woman who attempted suicide by oral ingestion of potentially fatal doses of multiple drugs including quetiapine. Intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) was administered at a dose higher than that used in the standard management of toxicity. Rapid improvement was observed in the patient's status, and no additional treatment was required during the period of observation. No adverse effect of lipid administration was observed. ILE treatment seems to have great potential in the management of lipophilic drug toxicity in the future.

Response to "use of lipid emulsion in the resuscitation of a patient with prolonged cardiovascular collapse after overdose of bupropion and lamotrigine".

Animal studies show efficacy of intravenous lipid emulsion in the treatment of severe cardiotoxicity associated with local anesthetics, clomipramine, and verapamil, possibly by trapping such lipophilic drugs in an expanded plasma lipid compartment ("lipid sink"). Recent case reports describe lipid infusion for the successful treatment of refractory cardiac arrest caused by parenteral administra...

Intravenous lipid emulsion in clinical toxicology

Intravenous lipid emulsion is an established, effective treatment for local anesthetic-induced cardiovascular collapse. The predominant theory for its mechanism of action is that by creating an expanded, intravascular lipid phase, equilibria are established that drive the offending drug from target tissues into the newly formed 'lipid sink'. Based on this hypothesis, lipid emulsion has been con...
