SMOF KABIVEN 1448 ML

AboutSMOF Kabiven is a complete parenteral nutrition solution designed for intravenous administration to patients who cannot or should not eat normally. It provides essential macronutrients (amino acids, glucose, lipids) and micronutrients (electrolytes, vitamins, trace elements) required for metabolic processes, tissue repair, and energy production. The lipid emulsion component, SMOFlipid, is a balanced mixture of soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil, offering a beneficial fatty acid profile, including omega-3 fatty acids, which may have anti-inflammatory properties.This formulation is crucial for maintaining nutritional status in critically ill patients, those undergoing major surgery, or individuals with severe gastrointestinal dysfunction, such as short bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, or pancreatitis, where enteral feeding is contraindicated or insufficient. It helps prevent malnutrition, supports immune function, and facilitates recovery, ensuring that the body receives adequate caloric and nutrient support when oral or enteral routes are not feasible.UsesNutritional support for patients unable to eat orally.Management of severe malnutrition.Support during critical illness or major surgery.Patients with severe gastrointestinal dysfunction.Directions For UseAdminister intravenously via a central or peripheral vein, as prescribed by a physician.
