ObjectiveTo draw attention to the use of intravenous lipids in the treatment of cardiac arrests caused by overdosage of lipophilic drugs. Case reports and animal studies have shown beneficial use of lipids in severe intoxication. The literature is reviewed.ConclusionLipids have a place in the treatment of severe cardiac events caused by local analgesics for regional anaesthesia. Lipids should be readily available when regional anaesthesia is performed. National guidelines should be prepared. Lipids may also be an option in the treatment of intoxication with other lipophilic drugs.
