Hello everyone,

I would love to know what other facilities have in place for administering lipid resuscitation therapy for LAST.

At my facility, we have a panel built for a bolus of 1.5 mL/kg/dose followed by an infusion of 0.25-0.5 mL/kg/min.

However, if you calculate the dose for a 65kg patient, the rates are as follows for a 20% lipid solution:
- Bolus ends up being 5850 mL/hr
- infusion ends up being 0-1950 mL/hr
