How are Lipid Emulsions Administered in Toxicological Emergencies?
In toxicological emergencies, lipid emulsions are administered intravenously. The typical protocol involves an initial bolus followed by a continuous infusion. Dosages can vary, but a common regimen includes an initial bolus of 1.5 mL/kg followed by an infusion of 0.25 mL/kg/min. It is critical that administration is performed under close medical supervision, with continuous monitoring for potential side effects.
