Pilot Trial of Intravenous Lipid Emulsion Treatment for Severe Nifedipine-Induced Shock.

Animal studies and human case reports show promise in using lipid rescue to treat refractory calcium channel antagonist toxicity. However, the majority of research and clinical experience has focused on non-dihydropyridine agents. Thus, we sought to investigate the value of lipid emulsion (ILE) therapy for dihydropyridine-induced shock.
