Studies on the efficacy of a new 20% fat emulsion in pediatric parenteral nutrition. 1982

A G Coran, and R Drongowski, and T M Sarahan, and J R Wesley

A new 20% safflower oil emulsion was studied in a small series of pediatric patients. Eight infants and children were evaluated over a 2-week period. The 20% fat emulsion supplied a major portion of daily caloric requirements. No serious side effects or toxicity were noted. No major changes in blood chemistries were observed; however, a statistically significant increase in serum albumin was noted. In addition, 63% of the patients gained weight during the study. This investigation supports the contention that 20% Liposyn is a safe and effective component of a parenteral nutrition program for children.

D010289 Parenteral Nutrition, Total The delivery of nutrients for assimilation and utilization by a patient whose sole source of nutrients is via solutions administered intravenously, subcutaneously, or by some other non-alimentary route. The basic components of TPN solutions are protein hydrolysates or free amino acid mixtures, monosaccharides, and electrolytes. Components are selected for their ability to reverse catabolism, promote anabolism, and build structural proteins.
