Hi Everyone,
Looking to see what other pediatric emergency rooms have for policies regarding local anesthetic systemic toxicity treatment (LAST)? I'd also love to know if you have a LAST kit created or would your nurses pull the intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) from pyxis and run it should local anesthetic toxicity ever happen? Does your provider place an order for the ILE or would it be verbal?
We have a pediatric provider that is doing nerve blocks and we need to get some safety measures in place should LAST ever occur. Anyone with experience on this I'd love your expertise.
Thanks,
Ann
