Lipid Emulsion – 500ml

Lipid emulsion infusion creates an expanded lipid phase, and the resulting equilibrium drives toxic drug from tissue to the aqueous plasma phase then to the lipid phase.An initial dose of 20% lipid emulsion at 1.5 ml/kg or a 100 ml bolus can be administered over a few minutes. This can be repeated after 5 minutes for 2 or more times for persistent hemodynamic instability. The bolus(es) should immediately be followed by a continuous infusion at 0.25-0.5 ml/kg/min.
