objective(s): the increasing use of methamphetamine (meth) in the last decades has made it the second most abused drug. advancs in the area of intravenous lipid emulsion (ile) have led to its potential application in the treatment of poisoning. the present study aims to investigate the potential role of ile as an antidote for acute meth poisoning. materials and methods: two groups of six male r...

diazinon (dzn) is a synthetic organophosphorus (ops) insecticide widely used in agricultural and household applications. ops, particularly dzn, are highly lipid soluble liquids. intravenous lipid emulsion (ile) has been shown to reduce toxicity caused by some lipid soluble agents. we evaluated the antidote effect of ile on acute toxicity of dzn. twenty-four sprague-dawley female rats weighting ...

We present a case of refractory cardiogenic shock secondary to sustained release diltiazem poisoning.  Intravenous lipid emulsion therapy was initiated approximately 13 hours after ingestion. Vasopressors were weaned off hours after initiation of intravenous lipid emulsion therapy and the patient went on to make a full recovery.  This report adds to the paucity of data on intravenous lipid emul...

BACKGROUND Recent publications have questioned the validity of the "lipid sink" theory of lipid resuscitation while others have identified sink-independent effects and posed alternative mechanisms such as hemodilution. To address these issues, the authors tested the dose-dependent response to intravenous lipid emulsion during reversal of bupivacaine-induced cardiovascular toxicity in vivo. Subs...

CLINICAL QUESTION Is intravenous lipid emulsion a safe and effective therapy for the reversal and treatment of local anesthetic toxicity? RESULTS Systematic reviews, human case reports, and experimental animal studies have demonstrated the efficacy of intravenous lipid emulsion therapy in successfully reversing cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, and cardiac collapse seen with severe systemi...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficiency of intra-arterial, intraportal, and intravenous administration of cationic lipid emulsion/DNA complex, as used for gene transfer to rat liver. MATERIALS AND METHODS DNA-carrier complex for the in-vivo experiment was prepared by mixing DNA and a cationic lipid emulsion. According to the administration route used (intra-arterial, intraportal, or intravenous),...

Poisoning with calcium channel blockers and beta blockers are associated with high mortality and morbidity rates, especially in children. Treatment of poisoning with these drugs includes administration of atropine, glucagon, calcium and inotropic agents as clinically needed; and newer approaches like hyperinsulinemic euglycemia and intravenous lipid emulsion therapies. We herein present two ref...

  Diazinon (DZN) is a synthetic organophosphorus (OPs) insecticide widely used in agricultural and household applications. OPs, particularly DZN, are highly lipid soluble liquids. Intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) has been shown to reduce toxicity caused by some lipid soluble agents. We evaluated the antidote effect of ILE on acute toxicity of DZN.
