Specific effects of olive oil-based lipid emulsions in critical care. A preliminary report

Publication |
2010

Abstract

To add to the available information on the effects of a predominantly olive oil-containing fat emulsion in patients with acute and critical illness. Some specific effects of the infusion of a single-dose ClinOleic 20% emulsion were assessed in patients with acute conditions, in the form of a pilot case study.

The availability of an emulsion characterized by a low phytosterol supply, which enriches the pool of cholesterol precursors (squalene) with no impact on indices of lipid peroxidation, is particularly desirable in critical illness.
