Formula: Lipids

• Lipid emulsion provides essential fatty acids

• No clinical evidence in giving greater than 30% energy from lipid

• No clear measurable limit to its utilisation

• Thought that excess parenteral lipid can lead to impaired immune function, liver dysfunction, coagulopathy, abnormal lung function

• Rec. to keep to 1g/kg/day – based on studies done with soybean oil emulsions and the level at which complications occur – 70 kg person 70g fat/day

• Maybe better tolerated with different types of emulsions

• Sites that restrict lipid may result in EFA deficiency
