Abstract

Suitable and timely early enteral nutrition is paramount to providing optimal patient care for the critically ill. Lipids serve many essential roles throughout the human body, and are important components of most enteral formulations. This paper reviews lipid structure, function, and optimal utility for this macronutrient in enteral feeds. The use of omega-3 fatty acids has become common in critical care formulations, and their clinical efficacy is outlined separately. Available evidence is reviewed, and future directions are discussed.
