Prevention of essential fatty acid deficiency
Note: 8-10% of calorie input as fat emulsion. Presence of stress may cause an increase in dose- Start with 0.5 mL/minute infusion rate for 15-30 mins. If no adverse reactions occur increase to 1 mL/minute
Note:
- More than 500 mL of the drug should be infused on the first day of the treatment. Daily dosage should not exceed 2.5 g of fat/kg of body weight
- Initial infusion rate of 1.0 mL/minute for 15 mins, if no adverse reaction occurs the rate can be increased to 500 mL over 4-6 hrs
- Max: 3 g/kg/day
- Initial infusion rate of 0.5mL/minute for 15 mins, if no adverse reaction occurs the rate can be increased to 250 mL over 4-6 hrs
- Max: 3 g/kg/day
- Usual dose: 1 to 1.5 g/kg/day. Max: 2.5 g of fat/kg of body weight
Note:
- Initial infusion rate should not exceed 0.1 g (equal to 0.5 mL) per minute for the first 15 - 30 minutes
- Individualize doses based on caloric requirements. Daily dose should not exceed 2.5 g of fat/kg of body weight and should not exceed 60% of total daily caloric input
