A BIG DAY FOR LIPID!!!!

Today the May issue of Anesthesia and Analgesia which features articles on lipid-based resuscitation was released on the web. There are three editorials, four case reports of lipid saves and a number of laboratory reports having to do with local anesthetic toxicity in one way or another. Rather than blather on about the various articles, I encourage you to read the amazing case reports first. Afterall, that's what we're here for: taking care of patients and improving the safety profile for the entire range of perioperative events. Then see what interests you most after that: editorials or lab reports. In addition to the well-written papers, I compliment the publisher for having a fantastic cover. It really says it all!
