INTRALIPID 20%: The Lipid Emulsion That Reverses LAST (Free Preview) | Anesthesia Drug Compendium Series
The same bag of fat that feeds the sickest patients is the antidote that restarts a poisoned heart. It was built to feed people — the world's first safe intravenous fat, a soybean-oil emulsion held in water by egg-yolk phospholipid, developed by the Swedish biochemist Arvid Wretlind at the Karolinska Institute and approved in 1962 after a decade spent taming the toxicity of the fat solutions that came before it.
Intralipid 20% is a milky white emulsion of 20% soybean oil, 1.2% egg yolk phospholipids, and 2.25% glycerin.
The full episode, available on Supercast, goes underneath: How it was discovered, the mechanism and dosing and exactly how a bag of nutrition restart and feeds a poisoned heart and Key Takeaways.
