The aim of the presented surveillance is to confirm the results of the pilot study showing a significant reduction in respirator days and ICU-stay in patients with lipid based nutrition compared to standard regimen. Additionally parameters of immunological, inflammatory and illness status between patients with lipid based nutrition and patient with standard regime will be acquired and compared.

| Main Objective: Examination of the effect of lipid based nutrition vs. standard regimen on duration of ventilation in ventilated patients. The aim of the presented surveillance is to confirm the results of the pilot study showing a significant reduction in respirator days (- 6.6 d) and ICU-stay (- 5.6 d) in patients with lipid based nutrition compared to standard regimen. Assuming that this can be shown in a prospective surveillance including a specific number of patients the treatment and outcome of critically ill patients is optimized significantly. ;Secondary Objective: - APACHE II - SAPS-2 - CPIS - markers of inflammation - Immunology - Fatty acid composition of leukocytes, leukotrienes in plasma - LPS-binding protein (LBP) - wound infection - pneumonia - bloodstream infection and days with antibiotics - days with fever - sedation (type and dosis) - inotropic or vasopressor support (type and dosis) - need for transfusion and number of blood products - Insulin requirement - days of intensive care and hospital stay - rehabilitation Barthel-Index at hospital discharge - Mortality in hospital Biological safety parameters - Vital signs - lipid profile - blood glucose - leukocytes, thrombocytes, hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hk), Quick’s value, albumin, CRP, urea, creatinine, electrolytes, bilirubin - acid-base-status (pH, HCO3) ;Primary end point(s): Respirator days and ICU stay in patients with liped based nutrition compared to standard regimen. Parameters of immunological, inflammatory and illness status between patients with lipid based nutrition and patient with standard regime will be acquired and compared: - Standard parameters of ventilation (pO2, pCO2, FIO2, PEEP, flow, minute volume (ml/kg), pressure (peak pressure and mean pressure) and frequency of ventilation). - days of intensive care and hospital stay. | — |
