Outline of Final Research Achievements

We examined the efficacy of lipid rescue from neurotoxicity due to local anesthetics intoxication. Sixty rats were randomized into 6 groups. The rats in 4 groups underwent induced convulsions by injection of lidocaine or levobupivacaine via the tail vein. Immediately following the local anesthetics injection, 20% lipid emulsion; or saline was infused. In the other two groups, 20% lipid emulsion was infused before bolus injection of local anesthetics. Convulsion durations were not different among the post-treatment groups. In the lipid emulsion pre-treated groups, 50 % lidocaine-injected rats and 90 % levobupivacaine-injected rats had no convulsions. Moreover, convulsion durations in the pre-treated groups were significantly shorter than those in the post-treatment groups (p < 0.001).
Convulsions induced by intravenous injection of lidocaine or levobupivacaine were inhibited by pre-treatment with lipid emulsion, but not by treatment after local anesthetics administration.
