Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The main objective is to determine whether, in esophagectomized patients, the administration of 5 days of fish oil intravenous lipid emulsions normalized the intraleukin-6 (IL-6). To determine whether 5-day administration of endovenous lipid emulsions derived from fish oil in esophagectomized patients at a dose of 0.8 g / kg / day is more effective than a dose at 0.4 g / kg / day in reducing the Inflammation expressed in terms of serum concentration of Interleukin-6.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives include the study of other inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein, alpha tumor necrosis factor, IL-10, IL-8 and soluble CD25), morbidity, safety, nutrition, and mortality parameters.;Primary end point(s): Interleukin-6 will be determined as the main variable.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Blood samples will be collected on days 0, 1, 3, 5 and 21

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): We will determine others inflammatory parameters (C-reactive Protein, Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha, IL-10, IL-8 and soluble CD25), nutritional, hepatic and Safety (INR, platelets).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Blood samples will be collected on days 0, 1, 3, 5 and 21 Mortality will be determined one year after inclusion in the study
