Four-Oil Intravenous Lipid Emulsion Effect On Plasma Fatty Acid Composition, Inflammatory Markers And Clinical Outcomes In Acutely Ill Patients: A Randomised Control Trial (Foil Fact)

This study compared the effects of a four-oil LE (30% soybean oil, 30% medium-chain triglycerides, 25% olive oil and 15% fish oil (FO)) (SMOFlipid ®) to those of a 100% soybean oil-based LE in critically ill adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients.MethodsIn this double-blind, randomised study, patients (n=75) predicted to need PN for more than 5 days were randomised to receive either a four-oil LE (Study Group (SG)) or a 100% soybean oil LE (Control Group (CG)).
