Lipid Emulsion Use in Pediatric Patients Requiring Long‐Term Parenteral Nutrition

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 2020

The ability to deliver nutrients via parenteral nutrition (PN) has markedly improved the prognosis of infants and children with intestinal failure. Technical refinements and advances in knowledge have led to the development of highly sophisticated PN solutions that are tailored to meet the needs of pediatric patients. However, children who require long‐term PN have an increased risk of complications such as catheter‐related sepsis, liver disease, and bone disease. Although the pathogenesis of intestinal failure associated liver disease (IFALD) is multifactorial, studies have identified a possible link between the dose of lipid emulsions based on soybean oil and cholestasis, shown to occur with a significantly higher frequency in patients receiving >1 g lipids/kg/d. Potential contributing factors include oxidative stress, high ω‐6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and phytosterol content, and relatively low α‐tocopherol levels. Lipid emulsions containing fish oil offer potential a...

A double-blind, randomized clinical trial comparing soybean oil–based versus olive oil–based lipid emulsions in adult medical–surgical intensive care unit patients requiring parenteral nutrition*

Critical Care Medicine, 2012

Objective-Parenteral nutrition has been associated with metabolic and infectious complications in intensive care unit patients. The underlying mechanism for the high risk of complications is not known but may relate to the proinflammatory effects of soybean oil-based lipid emulsions, the only Food and Drug Administration-approved lipid formulation for clinical use. Design-Prospective, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial. Setting-Medical-surgical intensive care units from a major urban teaching hospital and a tertiary referral university hospital. Patients-Adult medical-surgical intensive care unit patients. Intervention-Parenteral nutrition containing soybean oil-based (Intralipid) or olive oil-based (ClinOleic) lipid emulsions. Measurements-Differences in hospital clinical outcomes (nosocomial infections and noninfectious complications), hospital length of stay, glycemic control, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers, and granulocyte and monocyte functions between study groups. Results-A total of 100 patients were randomized to either soybean oil-based parenteral nutrition or olive oil-based parenteral nutrition for up to 28 days. A total of 49 patients received soybean oil-based parenteral nutrition (age 51 ± 15 yrs, body mass index 27 ± 6 kg/m 2 , and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score 15.5 ± 7 [±SD]), and a total of 51 patients

Intradialytic parenteral nutrition: comparison of olive oil versus soybean oilbasedlipid emulsions

British Journal of Nutrition, 2006

Lipid, oxidative and inflammatory parameters are frequently altered in dialysis patients and may be worsened by intravenous lipid emulsions (ILE). We assessed the efficacy and tolerance of olive as compared with standard soybean oil-based ILE during intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN). IDPN mixtures containing amino acids, glucose, and either olive oil (OO group, n 17) or soybean oil-based ILE (SO group, n 18) were administered in a 5-week randomized, double-blind study. On days 0 and 35, patients' nutritional status was assessed by BMI, normalized protein catabolic rate, predialytic creatinine, serum albumin and transthyretin; lipid metabolism by plasma LDL-and HDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerols, phospholipids, apo A-I, A-II, B, C-II, C-III, E and lipoprotein (a); oxidative status by a-tocopherol, retinol, selenium, glutathione peroxidase, malondialdehyde and advanced oxidized protein products; inflammatory status by serum C-reactive protein, orosomucoid, IL-2 and IL-6. No serious adverse event was observed. Significant changes were observed from day 0 to day 35 (P,0•05): nutritional criteria improved (albumin in OO; albumin, transthyretin and creatinine in SO); LDL-cholesterol, apo B, C-II, C-III and apo A-I/A-II ratio increased in both groups. HDL-cholesterol decreased in OO; apo E increased and lipoprotein (a) decreased in SO; a-tocopherol/cholesterol ratio increased in OO; malondialdehyde decreased in both groups; IL-2 increased in both groups. The between-group comparison only showed the following differences: a-tocopherol/cholesterol increased in OO; lipoprotein (a) decreased in SO. From these data, it was concluded that OO-and SO-based IDPNs similarly improved nutritional status and influenced plasma lipid, oxidative, inflammatory and immune parameters.

A 3-month double-blind randomised study comparing an olive oil- with a soyabean oil-based intravenous lipid emulsion in home parenteral nutrition patients

British Journal of Nutrition, 2005

Intravenous lipid emulsions (ILE) have demonstrated advantages including prevention of essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency; however, too much EFA can down regulate fatty acid elongation leading to an imbalance of nutritional compounds in plasma and cell membranes. An olive oil-based ILE containing long-chain triacylglycerols (LCT) with a low content (20 %) of PUFA was administered for home parenteral nutrition (HPN) and compared with a conventional soyabean oil-based ILE (PUFA content, 60 %). Thirteen patients (26–92 years) with stable intestinal failure were randomised after a 1-month run-in period with a medium-chain triacylglycerols–LCT-based ILE, to receive 3 months of HPN with either olive oil- (n6) or soyabean oil-based (n7) ILE. The nutritional impact and safety of HPN, oral intakes and absorption rates, phospholipid fatty acids in plasma and lymphocyte cell membrane were assessed. The only clinical event reported was one case of pneumonia (soya group). In both groups, 20 :...

Change to Mixed-Lipid Emulsion From Soybean Oil–Based Lipid Emulsion in Pediatric Patients

JAMA Network Open

ImportanceCritically ill pediatric patients often require parenteral nutrition (PN) in the intensive care unit (ICU). Literature suggests mixed lipid emulsions (LE) with soybean oil reduction strategies may improve outcomes.ObjectiveTo examine the association of a hospital-wide switch to a mixed-lipid formula (4-OLE) with pediatric outcomes.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsRetrospective cohort study at a large US academic referral center. Pediatric patients aged 1 month to 17 years requiring parenteral nutrition from May 2016 to September 2019 were included. Data were analyzed from October 2020 to February 2023.ExposureIn 2017, Duke University Health System fully converted to a soybean oil/MCT/olive/fish oil lipid (4-OLE) from pure soybean oil–based LE in pediatric patients.

Recent Developments in Lipid Emulsions: Relevance to Intensive Care

Nutrition, 1997

For years, intravenous lipid supply has been considered as a means of providing an efficient fuel to many tissues of the body and of preventing or correcting essential fatty acid deficiency. The potential for lipid emulsions to modulate cell function via their content of specific fatty acids and of liposoluble vitamins has not received much attention yet. Soybean [long-chain triglycerides (LCT)] emulsions provide a valuable source of energy, but they are excessively rich in w-6 essential fatty acids (FAs). Their infusion is associated with an accumulation of linoleate and a reduction of long-chain ( -C20 ) w-6 and w-3 fatty acids in cell membrane phospholipids, as weil as with a depletion of antioxidant status, associated with a reducUon of atocopherol in plasma lipoproteins. Infusions of the mixed medium-chain Iriglycerides (MCT)/LCT (50%:50%; wt:wt) largely bypass these disadvantages. In addition, plasma elimination of MCT/LCT is faster than that of LCT. Recent advances indicate a great potential for ~-3 FAs incorporated into membrane phospholipids to modulate cell response to various stimuli and to influence several inWacellular metabolic processes. Furthermore, some of these FA directly influence the production and the action of important mediators, the eicosanoids. In practical terms, an increased intake of to-3 FAs may reduce inttammatory and thrombotic responses while protecting tissue microperfusion and immune defenses. Such properties may find interesling applications in several types of intensive care unit patients, provided that to-3 FA incorporation takes place promptly. We recently had the opportunity to study in vitro and in vivo the metabolism of emulsions made of a mixture of MCT, soybean LCT, and fish oil triglycerides. Plasma elimination of such preparations appeared to be very fast, and their infusion was not associated with a prolonged residence of emulsion partictes. In addition, uptake of remnants enriched with w-3 FAs and liposoluble vitamins was fairly fast and occurred in several types of cells, leading to an efficient incorporaüon of w-3 FAs in cell membranes within a few hours. The understanding that renmant uptake plays a significant role in the delivery of components included in lipid emulsions opens new areas of investigafion and is likely to find several conditions of applicafions for new types of preparations.

Intravenous lipid emulsions in the critically ill: an update

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2016

Purpose of review Purpose of the review is to summarize recent research addressing the role of intravenous lipid emulsions (IVLEs) in the critically ill. Recent findings Soybean oil-based IVLEs, which are high in the omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, have been largely used in parenteral nutrition over the last several decades. However, it is now generally accepted that the higher content of phytosterols and polyunsaturated fatty acids in soybean oil IVLE may adversely affect the immunological and inflammatory status of the critically ill. In the last few years, alternative IVLEs with lower soybean oil content have been associated with important improvements in clinical outcomes, such as mortality, mechanical ventilation days, and ICU length of stay. Olive oil and fish oil IVLEs have been reported to reduce the incidence of infections, with no clear benefits in other clinical outcomes. Despite the promising results with these new parenteral nutrition strategies, the optimum compos...
