As you know, FDA-approved labeling for fat emulsion was modified last year to include a requirement for filtering infusions with a 1.2 micron filter. I'm not sure whether lipid rescue was considered though. Has anyone given that some thought or actually considered and decided one way or another? When fat emulsion is needed in an emergency such as accidental intravenously administered bupivacaine, would you require a filter as per the label?
Thanks,
