In a collaborative effort, AACT has engaged with multiple professional societies to establish a multidisciplinary workgroup to evaluate the evidence for intravenous lipid emulsion therapy in acutely poisoned patients. Ad hoc consultants were employed in the rigorous evaluation of the literature. Members volunteered in the rigorous evaluation of the literature to produce clinical recommendations and published the following knowledge translation articles.
