of lipid emulsions has been identified in the management of poisoning and overdose caused by the lipophilic agents.
Although most of the evidence comes from the various case reports. We are reporting 2 cases of poisoning in the paediatric
age group. In both the cases multiple poisoning agents were involved with tricyclic antidepressants being the common
agent in either case. Lipid emulsion therapy was used as an adjunct in addition to the traditional poisoning management.
Both the girls recovered completely without any neurological deficit. The sequence of events observed provides a considerable
evidence regarding the role of ILE therapy in the successful management of both the cases. However more research is
required in the area to develop definitive guidelines regarding the use of Intravenous lipid emulsions in paediatric poisoning
caused by lipophilic agents.
