Rapid translation of scientific knowledge into clinical practice: the example of lipid emulsion therapy for local anesthetic systemic toxicity

Puntos clave

• This research explores the duration and effectiveness of translating scientific evidence into clinical practice, specifically for lipid emulsion therapy in local anesthetic systemic toxicity.
• Analysis of translational gaps in medical evidence and practice
• Evaluation of lipid emulsion therapy in relation to clinical applications
• Comparison of timelines for evidence publication versus practice implementation
• Identification of a 17-year gap in the translation of evidence into clinical use
• Significant delays noted particularly in the field of anesthesiology
• Recommendations made for enhanced communication strategies to bridge the gap
