Will Availability of SMOF Lipid Emulsions for Parenteral Nutrition Change Surgical Nutrition Practice?

Abstract

Purpose of Review

Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a widely accepted form of nutrition administration in patients in whom enteral feeding is contraindicated or insufficient. This is true in surgical patient populations, as well. As a component of PN, intravenous fat emulsions (IVFEs) are essential for the administration of essential fatty acids (EFAs) and adequate energy intake. The oils that make up standard IVFE formulations have evolved over time.

Recent Findings

A newer formulation, known as SMOF, contains a combination of soybean oil, medium chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil and is gaining popularity for its purported beneficial effects on liver function, inflammation, and anti-oxidant status.

Summary

This literature review examines the current data regarding the effects of SMOF in the patient receiving PN and examines the role SMOF may play in the future management of nutrition in the surgical population.
