TL;DR
A low-dose infusion of ILE was well tolerated and may have successfully prevented recurrent toxicity in a case of severe tricyclic antidepressant overdose, which is now frequently being used for severe overdoses due to lipophilic drugs.

This review will focus on the clinical application of lipid emulsion therapy in resuscitation from drug-related toxicity and provide an introduction to the development of the method, guidelines for its use and insights into potential controversies and future applications.

The quality of evidence was weak and significant heterogeneity prevented data pooling, and available data suggest some benefits of IFE in bupivacaine, verapamil, chlorpromazine, and some tricyclic antidepressants and beta-blockers toxicity.

Current case reports of successful resuscitation suggest the efficacy of lipid emulsion infusion for treating non-local anesthetic overdoses across a wide spectrum of drugs: beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, parasiticides, herbicides and several varieties of psychotropic agents.

If LRT is used, it should be instituted for patients with hemodynamic, or other instability, not responsive to standard resuscitation measures, where appropriate, and the decision to use LRT instead of, or in conjunction with, other therapies, such as euglycemic insulin therapy, is to be based on the clinical judgment of the treating physician.

The potential role of IFE in treatment of toxicity due to local anesthetics and other lipid-soluble drugs, including lipophilic central nervous and cardiovascular drug toxicity, is reviewed.

Overall, the studies suggested that the ECG and TCA concentration have similar but relatively poor performance for predicting complications, such as seizures, VA or death, associated with TCA overdose.

Assayed blood levels were consistent with the 'lipid sink' being a major effecter in the observed improvement, thereby curtailing the need for ongoing vasopressor medications.

ILE administered to patients with drug-induced cardiovascular collapse was associated with 55% survival but with clinically significant adverse effects, and ILE should be restricted to cardiotoxicity involving cardiac arrest or refractory shock until further prospective studies can better evaluate risks and benefits of ILE therapy.

The first case of amitriptyline toxicity treated with intravenous fat emulsion (IFE) is reported, manifested as vasopressor-refractory haemodynamic instability despite standard therapy.

A marked entrapment of amitriptyline by intravenous lipid emulsion was observed but this did not improve the pigs' haemodynamic recovery from severe amitripyline intoxication, and care should be exercised in the antidotal use of lipidEmulsion until controlled human studies indicate its efficacy and safety.
