Pesticide Poisoning
Conditions
Brief summary
Intravenous lipid emulsion is an established, effective treatment for local anesthetic systemic toxicity. It is also efficacious in animal models of severe cardiotoxicity caused by a number of other medications. Recent case reports of successful resuscitation suggest the efficacy of lipid emulsion infusion for treating non-local anesthetic overdoses across a wide spectrum of drugs. The present study will focus on the potential role of intravenous lipid emulsion as an adjuvant therapy in pesticides toxicity.
Interventions
Lipid emulsion is a mixture of soybean oil, egg phospholipids, glycerine, and is available in 10%, 20%, and 30% strengths. It has been used for decades as parenteral nutrition and for caloric supplementation and essential fatty acid deficiency. It has also been used as a carrier for lipid soluble medications
