First, what are the effects and functions of fat emulsion? Fat emulsion injection is a fat emulsion for intravenous infusion made of refined soybean oil, glycerin, refined lecithin, etc. Fat emulsion injection provides high energy and essential fatty acids for parenteral feeding. The functions of fat emulsion injection include: providing energy and essential fatty acids to the body, being used for parenteral nutrition to supplement energy and essential fatty acids, preventing and treating essential fatty acid deficiency in the human body, and providing essential fatty acids for patients who cannot maintain and restore normal essential fatty acid levels through oral administration.

Second, the functions and indications of fat emulsion injection: patients who cannot eat due to absorption disorders caused by digestive tract diseases, newborns, premature babies, before and after surgery, tumors, long-term coma, etc., or patients with large-area burns, etc. who need fat nutrition supplementation. It should be noted that it is contraindicated for patients with thrombosis, severe liver damage, coagulation disorders, hyperlipidemia, diabetes with ketoacidosis, cholecystitis, and pancreatitis.

The most important ingredient of fat emulsion is injectable soybean oil, which is an unsaturated fatty acid that can supplement the body's needs.

What are the effects and functions of fat emulsion? Fat emulsion injection has good effects and is widely used in clinical practice. It has been proven from physiology and nutrition that the fat ingested by the human body is first absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract to form chylomicrons. The shape and composition of fat emulsion injection are extremely similar to chylomicrons. It can be directly given intravenously to patients who cannot eat to provide fat nutrition.
