The effects of lipid infusion on myocardial function and bioenergetics in l-bupivacaine toxicity in the isolated rat heart.
It is unclear whether improved metabolism or a "lipid sink" effect of lipid infusion is responsible for the positive effects in local anesthetic-induced myocardial depression. ⋯ Lipid application in l-bupivacaine-induced cardiac depression had a significant positive inotropic effect, which we would attribute to a direct inotropic effect. However, in an isolated heart model, indirect, local anesthetic plasma-binding effect of lipids cannot be excluded.
