The need of fat in intravenous feeding

  • Published:
Journal of the American Oil Chemists Society

Summary

Fat emulsions satisfactory for intravenous administration have an important role to play in parenteral nutrition. They offer an opportunity to provide adequate calories in a limited fluid volume. Fat emulsions given intravenously are utilized for energy requirements for growth and maintenance and are helpful in maintaining a positive nitrogen balance. They have been given successfully to man. They should play an important role in supportive and preventive therapy in pre-and post-operative care and in any disease characterized by serious weight loss or emaciation.
