Impact of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Lactate - Full Text View

Purpose

Pre- and intra-operative nutritional support in patient undergoing major surgery results in decreased morbidity and mortality. Studies investigating the role of omega-3 fatty acids in these patients are increasing. Some are focused on perfusion at the cellular level. This study was undertaken to address the effect of postoperative administration of omega-3 fatty acids on cellular hypoperfusion associated with major gastric surgery.

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Omega-3 group All patients received TPN for 5 days postoperatively, according to a standard protocol: 3 g/kg BW glucose (5% Dextrose in Ringer's Lactate, Biosel, Istanbul), 1.2 g/kg BW amino acids (Aminosteril 10%, Fresenius-Kabi) and 0.8 g/kg BW omega-6 fatty acids (Lipovenoes® 10%, Fresenius-Kabi) were provided to both groups through an indwelling central venous catheter. In the omega-3 group, the lipid content of TPN was replaced partially by omega-3 fatty acids (Omegaven®, Fresenius-Kabi) up to 0.2 g/kg BW per day.	Drug: Lipovenoes® 10% and Omegaven®, All patients received TPN for 5 days postoperatively, according to a standard protocol: 3 g/kg BW glucose (5% Dextrose in Ringer's Lactate, Biosel, Istanbul), 1.2 g/kg BW amino acids (Aminosteril 10%, Fresenius-Kabi) and 0.8 g/kg BW omega-6 fatty acids (Lipovenoes® 10%, Fresenius-Kabi) were provided to both groups through an indwelling central venous catheter. In the omega-3 group, the lipid content of TPN was replaced partially by omega-3 fatty acids (Omegaven®, Fresenius-Kabi) up to 0.2 g/kg BW per day.
Omega 3 + Omega 6 group All patients received TPN for 5 days postoperatively, according to a standard protocol: 3 g/kg BW glucose (5% Dextrose in Ringer's Lactate, Biosel, Istanbul), 1.2 g/kg BW amino acids (Aminosteril 10%, Fresenius-Kabi) and 0.8 g/kg BW omega-6 fatty acids (Lipovenoes® 10%, Fresenius-Kabi) were provided to both groups through an indwelling central venous catheter.
