Parenteral nutrition with medium and long chain triglycerides

摘要

Medium chain triglyceride containing lipid emulsions for the nutrition of liver diseased or septicemic patients are improved by the inclusion in the emulsions of long chain triglycerides. The emulsions may also contain amino acids in proportions desirable for the nutrition of liver diseased patients, as well as carbohydrates, drugs, vitamins and electrolytes.
