Study Notes
Safety Considerations and Monitoring
- When performing ILE-based therapies, factors to consider include xenobiotic concentrations and structures, ILE administration speed and amount, patient clinical conditions, individual variations, treatment outcomes, and follow-up necessity.
Adverse Effects and Safety Concerns
- ILE infusions can cause autonomic stimulation, affecting heart rate, ECG pattern, and PR, QRS, QT, and QTc intervals, leading to tachycardia, hypotension, bradycardia, asystole, and asystole recurrence delay.
- Cardiovascular effects can occur in both adults and neonates receiving ILE for various toxicities.
- Respiratory depression may be associated with neonates receiving ILE.
- Dose and dose speed related cardiac concentration of xenobiotics may appear in clinical practice.
Risk Assessment
- Intravenous fat emulsion is generally well tolerated, with mild, uncommon, self-limited, short-lived, and irregular treatment-related adverse effects.
- Administration of intravenous fat emulsion may be beneficial for NAFLD in obese patients with abnormal serum lipid levels, without causing an unexpected excessive rise in serum lipid levels.
- Low-dose intravenous fat emulsion treatment may be a potential intervention for NAFLD and related comorbidities, especially in early intervention of early NAFLD stage.
Monitoring Protocols
- The clinical team should be advised on how to identify worst signals: dyspnea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, muscle pains.
- Close follow-up is essential, with regular measurements of serum triglycerides to assess for prompt elevations in lipids that require additional clinical management.
- Patients who develop lipemia should undergo risk reduction or therapy.
