Optimal Composition of Intravenous Lipids

  • Georg Kreymann Baxter Healthcare
Keywords: IV lipids

Abstract

The provision of energy from a lipid source is an essential component of any perenteral nutrition (PN) therapeutic regimen in the appropriate clinical setting. All available sources of intravenous lipid emulsions have a low osmolarity but they strongly differ in their immunologic effects and their effects on oxidative stress, liver injury and mitochondrial function. The 9/6 lipid emulsion with its relative immune-neutrality is a lipid emulsion that can be used in most critically ill and non-critically ill patients. Despite extensive research and encouraging progress in the availability of such lipid emulsions, there is still need for a lipid emulsions that could be advantageous in patients with real hyperinflammation.
