Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate the impact of a parenteral nutrition regimen including a fish oil-enriched lipid emulsion on the pulmonary function in patients with Acute Lung Injury;Secondary Objective: To investigate safety and further efficacy variables of a fish oil-containing i.v. lipid emulsion as part of intensive care treatment;Primary end point(s): Change in blood oxigenation (PaO2/FiO2) from day 1 to day 6;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 1 before parenteral nutriton started and day 6 in the morning after 5 days (5 treatments) have been provided.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Safety variables: GOT, GPT, GGT, AP, total & direct bilirubin, lipase, triglycerides, cholesterol, blood glucose, sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, albumin, total protein, lactate, creatinine, urea, uric acid, CBC, INR, aPTT, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score (HADS), AE reporting Efficacy variables: length of ICU & hospital stay, days free of (28 day timeframe): ICU care, ventilation, sedation, catecholamine, renal replacement therapy, rate of ICU complications, SOFA score, 28 & 90 day mortality, Special variables: free fatty acid profile (AA, LA, ALA, DHA, EPA) and total plasma fatty acids, apoptosis/proliferation markers of lymphocytes, cytokine (TNF, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10), Th-17 cell, LTB4, LTB5, resolvins (RvE1, NPDn) Other variables: weight, height, BMI, nutritional requirements & intake by parenteral and enteral nutrition, concomittant therapy, Insulin, demographic data, primary & secondary diagnosis, medical & medication history, vital signs; first 24 hrs of ICU: APACHE II, GCS, SAPS II;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Safety variables: daily, day 1 to day 16 (see above, except for HADS); AE documentation daily Efficacy variables: daily, exept SOFA score until day 16 daily; mortality day 28, day 90 For special variables: day 1, 4, 6, 16 Others: PN and EN intake daily
