Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This issue will review the importance of incorporating lipid injectable emulsions (ILE) in parenteral nutrition (PN) formulations. Newer ILE formulations have been recently introduced into practice in the United States. Topics to be addressed in this issue include:
- Safety and tolerability of available ILE (include filtering);
- Essential fatty acid deficiency and how to meet essential fatty acid requirements with the newer ILE products;
- Appropriate dosing of ILEs (peds and adults);
- How to incorporate the newer ILE products into practice;
- ILE use in the critically ill patient;
- ILE use in the acutely ill pediatric patient;
- The use of ILE products in the home parenteral nutrition patient (peds and adult).
