Is hyperalgesia a common complaint after lipid rescue? a patient who was two days post laparotomy received 750 of fent and 40 of morphine before the pain even began to come under control. Is it all being sequestered?

Bob, this is the first such report, but predictable to some degree - a clinical correlate of the sink phenomenon. it is almost certainly worth a letter to the editor. can you tell us why the patient rec'd lipid infusion?
