Abstract

A new type of 10% lipidic emulsion based on safflower oil and soya (Liposyn II, Abbott, Latina) characterised by a high linoleic/linolenic acid ratio was administered in random, double blind fashion with 10% Intralipid to 20 subjects submitted to major surgery of the digestive system. Dosage was 1.2 g/kg at an infusion rate of 2.6 ml/kg/h. In order to evidence possible in vivo inter-reactions between proteins of the acute post-aggressive phase and these emulsions, serial samples were used to measure haemogasanalytic parameters, plasma levels of triglycerides and serum levels of protein C-reactive and fourth complement factor. Both emulsions proved well tolerated and there was no evidence of general or administrative site reactions. The plasma levels of triglycerides underwent an increase during the test, with no significant differences between the two groups of patients. Notwithstanding the high serum levels of protein C-reactive of the subjects in question, there was no evidence of...
