What are the Treatment Options for Lidocaine Toxicity?
Treatment for lidocaine toxicity is supportive and symptomatic. It may include:
Intravenous lipid emulsion therapy, which can help to sequester the drug and reduce its toxicity. Anticonvulsants like benzodiazepines for seizure management. Advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) measures for severe cardiac complications.
Nurses play a vital role in administering these treatments and monitoring their effectiveness.
