ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00396461

Purpose

This study aims to analyse the effect of two total parenteral nutrition diets with lipid emulsions of different compositions on the incidence of nosocomial infection in critical patients. One diet will contain an MCT/LCT emulsion concentrated to 20% (50:50 ratio) and the other will comprise an MCT/LCT/fish oil emulsion (50:40:10 ratio). The secondary objective of this study is to analyse mortality in hospital and up to 6 months of discharge.

Criteria

INCLUSION CRITERIA:

Patients of both sexes, prospective admission to Intensive Care Units (ICUs), over 18 years, where TPN is required as a nutritional metabolic support for a minimum period of 5 days and where said patients have signed the informed consent form.

The indications for administration of parenteral nutrition shall be those recommended by the American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN), and in particular:

Severe malnutrition
Major intra-abdominal surgery
Peritonitis
Intestinal ischaemia
Intestinal occlusion
Gastrointestinal fistulas
Small intestine

Patients of both sexes, over 18 years, that commencing nutritional support with enteral diets in the first 3 days of admission to ICU require parenteral nutrition as:

75% of the calculated energy requirements have not been reached after three days receiving enteral nutrition.
Gastrointestinal complications have been suffered as a result of enteral nutrition that cannot be treated or are persistent in the first 3 days of admission.

In this case EN will be suspended and the patient will be included in the protocol receiving PN.

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

APACHE II < 13
Morbid obesity (BMI ≥ 39)
Hepatic disease defined within the following set of parameters:
1. Portal hypertension with gastrointestinal bleeding on admission
2. Clinically apparent hepatocellular ascites
3. Hepatocellular bilirubin higher than 3 mg/dL
4. Serum albumin less than 30 g/L with portal hypertension
5. Grade II or higher encephalopathy
6. Clinical diagnosis of alcoholic hepatitis
Chronic renal insufficiency defined by one of the following criteria:
1. Plasmatic creatinine greater than 4 mg/dL
2. Chronic peritoneal dialysis or haemodialysis
Patients with severe acquired or familial hyperlipidaemias (> 400 mg/day) of any kind
Serious chronic neurological disease defined by one of the following criteria:
1. Cerebrovascular accident with persistent neurological deficit in the past six months
2. Neurological deficit that necessitates chronic confinement
Neoplastic patients with metastasis and a life expectancy of less than six months
Patients that underwent chemotherapy or radiotherapy during the month prior to the study
Patients that received chronic treatment with corticoids in the month preceding admission to ICU. Patients receiving treatment with corticoids since admission to ICU for septic shock should not be excluded.
Continuous infusion treatment for more than 24 hours with propofol or with other pharmaceuticals where lipid emulsions are used as the vehicle
Infectious diseases transmitted through the blood, products derived from blood or urine: hepatitis B, C and HIV
Inclusion in another clinical trial
Having received TPN in the month prior to inclusion in the study
Pregnancy
Refusal to participate in the study
