Intravenous lipid infusion in toxicological practice

Petko Marinov, Dobri Ivanov, Snezha Zlateva, Simeonka Dimitrova, Gabriela Kehayova, Maya Radeva

Abstract

The use of intravenous lipid emulsions (ILEs) is a relatively new method of treatment in toxicology. Initially, it was applied to control the resistant to other therapeutic methods systemic toxicity of local anesthetics. In the last decade this therapeutic method has been approved and recommended. Thereafter, attempts have been made to clarify the effect of ILEs in cases of acute intoxications with lipophilic xenobiotics, other than the local anesthetics.

Keywords
