Fatty acids are crucial for recovery – yet some patients need reduced amounts of lipids

ESPEN guidelines recommend a lipid dose of 1.0 g/kg/day for patients on parenteral nutrition (PN).² Still, some patients may not need this amount of lipids. For example, critically ill patients receiving propofol get a large lipid-based calorie intake from this source.² Also, patients on long-term PN can be at risk of developing intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD), which has been associated with certain lipid emulsions in the PN formulation.^3,5 Reducing the lipid dose to accommodate calories delivered by propofol or cycling PN in long term PN patients is made possible with flexibility in lipid dosing enabled by Clinimix.
