Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of the effects of different intravenous fat emulsions in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome and sepsis.
In this study, the authors aimed to compare the effects that a medium- and long-chain triglyceride (MCT/LCT) fat infusion and a fish oil-based (ω-3) fat infusion for parenteral nutrition (PN) had on systemic inflammation, cytokine response, and hepatic steatosis in mixed intensive care unit (ICU) patients. ⋯ Fish oil-based fat emulsions might have anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective effects in hyperinflammatory disease such as sepsis.
