Hi to all!!!

Does anyone have experience with the use of LIPIDEM in parenteral nutriton?

We started few months ago and the preliminary results are terrific!!!! No hypertrigliceridemia, rapid decrease of AST/ALT/GGT and bilirubin in a premie with parenteral colestasys. But only few cases...

Re: Lipidem - I had to look it up since we don't have it here in Canada - fish oil (omega 3s), soy oil and medium chain triglyceride oil. It looks very interesting. Anything published?

It's also called Lipoplus 2 in some countries. Here's the composition:

20% fat as : MCT from coconut oiL - 80 g per 1,000 mL

LCT from soybean oil - 100 g

Omega 3 triglycerides - 20 g

egg yolk lecithin - 12 g

glycerol 25 g

KCal 1910 / L

alpha tocopherol (Vit E) 190 +/- 30 mg
