Predicting Inter-individual Variability During Lipid Resuscitation of Bupivacaine Cardiotoxicity in Rats: A Virtual Population Modeling Study

ConclusionOur results represent a successful prediction of complex, dynamic physiological outcomes over a virtual population. Despite being informed by very limited data, our mechanistic model predicted a plausible range of treatment outcomes that accurately predicts changes in LD50 when extrapolated to putatively toxic doses of bupivacaine. Furthermore, causal analysis of the predicted survival outcomes indicated a critical synergy between scavenging and direct cardiotonic mechanisms of ILE action.
