Article Synopsis
- Lipid injectable emulsions (ILEs) are used in parenteral nutrition to provide energy and essential fatty acids, and their use presents unique challenges compared to oral fats.
- Since 1975, soybean oil has been the primary source for ILEs in the US, but safety concerns and inventory shortages have led to the introduction of new ILE products.
- The paper addresses gaps in best practices for ILEs, aiming to minimize safety errors related to prescribing, compounding, and administration, with Part 1 focusing on adults and Part 2 planned for neonatal and pediatric populations.
