Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to comparatively assess the potential antiinflammatory effects of intravenous lipid emulsions rich in omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and olive oil versus intravenous lipid emulsions made exclusively with MCT and LCT on the evolution of patients with severe acute pancreatitis during the period in needing artificial nutrition support with total parenteral nutrition so unique.
