LAST

WHAT IS LAST?

LAST is a life-threatening medical complication that occurs when local anesthetics enter the circulation producing potentially severe cardiac and neurological toxicity. It can occur whenever and wherever local anesthetics are used and can result in seizures, cardiovascular instability (irregular heart rhythm, low blood pressure, etc.) and even cardiac arrest. Clinical experience and laboratory data indicate that LipidRescue can treat LAST.
