How do you give Smoflipid?
The recommended dosage of Smoflipid for adult patients is 1 to 2 grams/kg per day and should not exceed 2.5 grams/kg per day. The initial rate of infusion should be 0.5 mL/min for the first 15 to 30 minutes of infusion. If tolerated, gradually increase until reaching the required rate after 30 minutes.
What does Smoflipid stand for?
SMOF Lipid for Children With Parenteral Nutrition Induced Liver Injury (SMOF)
| Study Type : | Expanded Access |
| Official Title: | Compassionate Use of an Intravenous Fat Emulsion Comprised of Soy Oil, Medium Chain Triglycerides, Olive Oil, and Fish Oil for Children With Parenteral Nutrition Induced Liver Injury |
Do SMOF lipids contain egg?
Severe hyperlipidemia or severe disorders of lipid metabolism with serum triglycerides > 1,000 mg/dL. Hypersensitivity Reactions: SMOFlipid contains soybean oil, fish oil, and egg phospholipids, which may cause hypersensitivity reactions.
What are Intralipids IVF?
Intralipid is used for improving implantation in patients with high natural killer cell activity. Intralipid or lipid emulsion, is an intravenous infusion that aims to provide essential fatty acids that are necessary for women who have suffered repeat miscarriages.
What are Intralipids used for?
Intralipid 10% (10% I.V. Fat Emulsion) is a source of calories and essential fatty acids used to provide calories to patients who are getting their nutrition through an injection into the vein. Intralipid 10% is also used to provide essential fatty acid to people who do not have enough of it.
Why are SMOF lipids better?
The main conclusions of the study are that Smoflipid® has a positive impact on liver enzymes due low phytosterol and high vitamin E content, in addition to decrease in lipid peroxidation and improvement on ω-3 to ω-6 PUFA ratio, producing a less proinflammatory profile [26].
Do Intralipids need to be filtered?
Filtering is required of some IV lipid products available on the market in the United States. For lipid injectable emulsion (Clinolipid; Baxter, Deerfield, IL) and IVFE Intralipid, a 1.2 micron or larger filter is required.

Can you put smoflipid in a PN container?
Prepare the admixture in PN containers using strict aseptic techniques to avoid microbial contamination. Do not add Smoflipid to the PN container first; destabilization of the lipid may occur. Smoflipid may be mixed with amino acid and dextrose injections to produce “all-in-one” PN admixtures.
What are the benefits of the smoflipid blend?
Clinical studies have shown several benefits of the blend: Improved liver function. SMOFlipid showed lower concentrations of liver enzymes (ALT, AST) compared to soybean oil lipid emulsions, indicating an improvement in the patient’s liver function.2,6. Monitor liver function.
Is the omega-6 fatty acid in smoflipid safe?
The omega-6:omega-3 fatty acid ratio and Medium Chain Triglycerides in SMOFlipid have not been shown to improve clinical outcomes compared to other intravenous lipid emulsions. visiting our Resource Center. This brief summary does not include all the information needed to use SMOFlipid safely and effectively.
What are the side effects of smoflipid in infants?
Autopsy findings included intravascular fat accumulation in the lungs. Preterm infants and low-birth-weight infants have poor clearance of intravenous lipid emulsion and increased free fatty acid plasma levels following lipid emulsion infusion.
