Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Background: SMOF lipid™ infusion containing soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil has been approved and recommended for use in adults receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). Research shows that SMOF lipid infusion is safe for use in post-operative and critically ill patients. Improved patient outcomes are linked to SMOF lipid use over traditional soybean oil lipid emulsions. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of SMOF lipid infusion on incidence of infection, ICU length of stay, hospital length of stay, and mortality in adult trauma patients as compared to parenteral nutrition utilizing 100% soybean oil emulsion or a lipid-free, dextrose and amino acid administration. Methods and Analysis: A retrospective chart review was conducted for adult trauma patients admitted to Eskenazi Health’s surgical intensive care unit (SICU) that received PN from May 2017 to May 2020. Data were collected from the electronic health record and trauma registry. Results: Twenty-nine patients were included who met study criteria: 17 patients in the traditional lipid cohort and 12 in the SMOF lipid cohort. The length of PN therapy was comparable between the traditional and SMOF ILE groups, 13.9 days (± 11.5) and 13.3 days (± 14.3) respectively. All 12 patients in the SMOF lipid cohort received intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) compared to 42% (n=7) of traditional lipid group patients (p=0.001). SMOF treatment group were provided 100% of estimated energy needs via PN compared to an average of 94% (± 9.7) of estimated energy needs in the traditional lipid treatment group (p=0.036). Incidence of infection during initial hospitalization was significantly lower in the SMOF treatment group (n=3, 25%) compared to the traditional lipid treatment group (n=13, 76%). Mortality was decreased in the SMOF treatment group (0%) when contrasted to the Intralipid treatment group (23.5%), p=0.04. Conclusion: Patients receiving SMOF lipid emulsion within PN therapy had better clinical outcomes compared to those receiving Intralipid soybean-lipid emulsion or a dextrose and amino acid administration.
