Official title

The Effect of Intravenous Lipid Emulsions on Lung Function in ARDS: A Pilot Study

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of nutritional supplementation with omega-9 "olive-oil" and omega-6 "soybean oil" based lipid emulsions in the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). The investigators hypothesize that these specific lipids in combination will immunomodulate the inflammatory reaction that occurs in the lungs of ARDS subjects. This concept is known as "Pharmaconutrition." These lipids will be given intravenously so as to assure administration and only as a supplement to enteral nutrition which all subjects will also receive. The omega-9 will be compared to the omega-6 formulation which is the only FDA approved formulation of use in the United States since its development in 1961 by Fresenius-Kabi, Bad Homburg, Germany. The investigators plan to perform a bronchoscopy with lavage within 24 hours of enrollment, begin the lipid administration and continue it for 96 hours after which time the investigators will repeat bronchoscopy with lavage to assess changes. The lipid administration will cease following the second bronchoscopy. The fluid obtained from lavage combined with serum samples obtained at the time of bronchoscopy will be analyzed for inflammatory mediators and cell counts. Clinical data tracing will include but not be limited to: ventilator days, nutritional status, ICU time, oxygenation and lung compliance, and 30-day mortality.
