Interventions

DRUG

Fish Oil

Omegaven® is a 10% fish oil emulsion with a high percentage of long-chain n-3 fatty acids - mainly eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. It optimises the fatty acid pattern in parenteral nutrition and is a source of polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acids as cell membrane components and precursors for eicosanoids. Omegaven® is manufactured by Fresenius-Kabi, Germany and is available in 100 mL bottles for study purpose. Each 100 mL of Omegaven® contains 10 g of fish oil (0.1 g/mL). Timeframe: Day -1: 0.20 g fish oil/kg BW/d (the treatment should be started 24 to 3 h before surgery, can be given as 3-6 hours infusion); intraoperative day 0: no dose; postoperative day 0: 0.20 g fish oil/kg BW/d; postoperative days 1 to max. 7): 0.20 g fish oil/kg BW/d

DRUG

Intravenous 0.9% Sodium Chloride

Intravenous 0.9% Sodium Chloride (volume 2 mL/kg BW/d) provided at the same timepoints as the intervention.
