Published data assessing the efficacy and toxicity of omega-3 fatty acid emulsion in children are limited. Until recently, children requiring long-term parenteral nutrition who experienced parenteral nutrition–associated liver disease (PNALD) were likely to die from infection or liver disease before receiving a small bowel and/or liver transplant. With the introduction of parenteral fish oil (1...

Using two-dimensional echocardiography, pulmonary vascular resistance was estimated from right ventricular pre-ejection period to ejection time (RVPEP/ET) in 11 preterm infants with respiratory distress, to test the effect of different doses of continuous lipid infusion. Echocardiography was performed at baseline with no lipid infusing 2 and 24 hours after 1.5 and 3 g/kg/day of intravenous lipi...

To evaluate the effect of intravenous infusion of a soybean based lipid emulsion (Lipovenoes 10%) on some blood constituents in sheep, a replicated 2 × 2 Latin square design experiment was conducted in four clinically healthy ewes. Lipid emulsion (LE group) or normal saline (NS group) was infused intravenously at a rate of 0.025 mL kg(-1) per min for 6 hr and the concentrations of blood triglyc...

This article reports a 3-month-old baby girl with Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) PDA ligation surgery, performed postoperative intercostal peripheral nerve block. Cardiac toxicity occured features of ventricular extrasystole bigeminy and AV block signs cardiac depression immediately after Administration intravenous 20% lipid emulsion, epinephrine, antiarrhythmics improved hemodynamic conditions...

arrest [5]. More recently, Stehr and colleagues [6] have demonstrated an independent positive inotropic effect for lipid emulsion in bupivacaineinduced cardiac depression in rat hearts. Given that myocardial substrate preference under conditions of increased lactate concentration is known to shift toward oxidation of free fatty acids [7], improved outcomes with lipid infusion in cardiac arrest ...

PURPOSE Anesthesia and surgery commonly cause hypothermia, and this caused by a combination of anesthetic-induced impairment of thermoregulatory control, a cold operation room environment and other factors that promote heat loss. All the general anesthetics markedly impair normal autonomic thermoregulatory control. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of two different types of propof...
