Does 20% lipid emulsion reverse local anesthetic-induced cardiac arrest?
This editorial response reinforces the potential life-saving role of 20% lipid emulsion for reversing local anesthetic-induced cardiac toxicity.
Rosenblatt et al. (2007) conducted a letter in Local anesthetic-induced cardiac arrest. 20% lipid emulsion (intralipid) was evaluated on Reversal of toxic effects / successful resuscitation. Administration of 20% lipid emulsion successfully reversed the cardiotoxic effects and cardiac arrest induced by local anesthetics in the discussed case reports.
