Lipid infusions for LAST

HI All

We recently added an entry into our smart pumps (Baxter sigma) for a lipid infusion to treat LAST (LA toxicity). We realized that if the patient weighs over 66 kg, the suggested dosing of 0.25mL/kg/min (based on IBW) is too fast for the pump to deliver. Our pumps max at 999mL/h. If anyone could share how they do this in their institution, it would be very much appreciated.
