초록

Lipid emulsion has been shown to effectively relieve refractory cardiovascular collapse resulting from toxic levels of nonlocal anesthetics. The goal of this study was to examine the effect of lipid emulsions on neuropsychiatric drug-induced toxicity using relevant case reports of human patients, with a particular focus on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score and corrected QT interval, to analyze drugs that frequently require lipid emulsion treatment. The following keywords were used to retrieve relevant case reports from PubMed: "antidepressant or antipsychotic drug or amitriptyline or bupropion or citalopram or desipramine or dosulepin or dothiepin or doxepin or escitalopram or fluoxetine or haloperidol or olanzapine or phenothiazine or quetiapine or risperidone or trazodone" and "lipid emulsion or Intralipid." Lipid emulsion treatment reversed the corrected QT interval prolongation and decreases in Glasgow Coma Scale scores caused by toxic doses of neuropsychiatric drugs, especially lipid-soluble drugs such as amitriptyline, trazodone, quetiapine, lamotrigine, and citalopram. The log P (octanol/water partition coefficient) of the group which required more than 3 lipid emulsion treatments was higher than that that of the group which required less than 3 lipid emulsion treatments. The main rationale to administer lipid emulsion as an adjuvant was as follows: hemodynamic depression intractable to supportive treatment (88.3%) > lipophilic drugs (8.3%) > suspected overdose or no spontaneous breathing (1.6%). Adjuvant lipid emulsion treatment contributed to the recovery of 98.30% of patients with neuropsychiatric drug-induced toxicity. However, further analyses using many case reports are needed to clarify the effects of lipid emulsion resuscitation.
