We hypothesized that early postoperative IV FO supplementation might reduce the inflammatory and metabolic response. The study aimed at testing the safety and the clinical impact of a TPN mixture containing FO after elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surgery. Methods: Patients admitted to ICU after AAA surgery, were randomized to receive 4–5 days of standard versus FO containing TPN (Lipoplus®: LCT4…
