background: cardiac toxicity is one of the life-threatening effects of severe organophosphate (op) poisoning. we presented a patient with severe op poisoning, in cardiovascular shock poorly responsive to conventional treatments, who could be resuscitated successfully with intravenous lipid emulsion (ile) therapy. case report: a 26-year-old female was admitted to our emergency department who had...

intravenous fat preparations are used in the nutrition of those requiring parenteral alimentation. Although parenteral nutrition is recognized as a limited substitute for oral alimentation, and should be used for as short a time as possible, widespread use has resulted in some adverse effects. Fat has the highest caloric density of any nutrient. In addition, intravenously infused fat emulsions ...

Hyperlipidaemia, whether primary or secondary to parenteral feeding with intravenous lipid emulsions, causes the haemoglobin level to be erroneously high when measured spectrophotometrically. Contrary to a previous report, evidence is presented which suggests a relationship between the amount of the false rise in the haemoglobin level and the type and degree of hyperlipidaemia.

Fat overload syndrome is a rare complication of intravenous fat emulsion therapy. It is due to infusion rate and/or dose of triglycerides lipid emulsion surpassing fat clearance capacity of the body. Several reports in the literature described fat overload syndrome which was caused by rapid infusion of lipid emulsions, all with soybean-based lipid emulsions. We describe one patient who received...

Emulsions of fat suitable for intravenous ad ministration have been used in this laboratory as @ source of calories, as an aid in the study of lipid metabolism, and as a vehicle for fat-soluble ma tenials. The latter use has been of value in studies with rats on the effects of the intravenous injection Cof carcinogenic hydrocarbons. Several investiga tions have been reported in which emulsions ...

Lipid emulsions are an important part of paediatric parenteral nutrition as they provide energy, fat soluble vitamins and are a source of essential fatty acids. Soya bean based oil emulsions have however been identified as one of the major causative factors in the development of PN related cholestasis. The newer lipid emulsion containing fish oil has been shown to reduce the risk of such compli...

Spleens showing fatty infiltration and necrosis of the pulp were found at necropsy on several patients who had received intravenous fat emulsions during their terminal illnesses. The postmortem findings are described and the clinicopathological correlation is discussed with special reference to the phenomenon of creaming of the emulsion.
