    Accidental intravascular administration of bupivacaine can cause severe neurotoxic and cardiotoxic effects. We report a case of suspected bupivacaine intoxication due to intravascular injection via an epidural catheter and treatment with lidocaine, propofol, and a 20% lipid emulsion resulting in fast resolution of cardiotoxic and neurotoxic effects. Possible mechanisms of action of the medications used are discussed.
