Intralipid, ClinOleic
Creates a lipid sink in plasma that sequesters lipophilic drugs away from target tissues. May also enhance mitochondrial energy production in cardiac tissue.
For local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST), permethrin toxicity, and other lipophilic drug overdoses. Pancreatitis risk. Interferes with lab tests. Use 20% emulsion only.
