In the field of gynecology, ILE is not commonly used as a first-line treatment. However, it has shown promise in specific scenarios:
1. Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST): During procedures involving local anesthetics, such as epidurals or nerve blocks, there is a risk of systemic toxicity. ILE has been used as a "rescue" therapy to counteract severe toxicity.
2. Drug Overdose and Toxicity: In rare cases of accidental overdose of lipid-soluble drugs used in gynecological treatments, such as certain chemotherapeutic agents, ILE can serve as an antidote by sequestering the drug within lipid micelles.
3. Nutritional Support: For patients undergoing extensive surgical procedures or suffering from conditions that impair oral intake, ILE can provide essential nutrients and calories intravenously.
