General

  • Type: Lipid emulsion therapy
  • Dosage Forms: 10%, 20%, and 30% lipid emulsions
    • Note that 20% is used for lipid rescue therapy for systemic drug toxicity[1]
  • Routes of Administration: IV
  • Common Trade Names: Intralipid, Lipid Rescue [2]

Adult Dosing

  • 1.5 ml/kg bolus[3]
    • Followed by 0.25 ml/kg/min for 20 min or until hemodynamic stability is achieved.[4]

Pediatric Dosing

Special Populations

Emergency department indications

Contraindications

  • Allergy to class/drug

Adverse Reactions

Serious

  • Asystole (case reported) [5]
  • Fat embolism
  • Hypersensitivity reactions

Common

  • Pancreatitis[6]
  • Hypertriglyceridemia[6]
  • Interferes with some lab measurements
    • Glucose and magnesium concentrations become inaccurate
    • Creatinine and lipase become unmeasurable

Pharmacology

  • Half-life:
  • Metabolism:
  • Excretion:
  • Mechanism of Action:
    • Emulsion acts as a “lipid sink,” surrounding a lipophilic drug molecule and rendering it ineffective
    • Fatty acids from the ILE provide the myocardium with a ready energy source, improving cardiac function
