Heyland DK et al.

The FOILED study is a small pilot trial of 20 patients in 2 German ICUs. The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of IV fish oil doses of 0.20 g/kg and 0.40 g/kg, in critically ill patients with severe sepsis by examining organ function, blood safety and biochemical parameters, markers of systemic inflammation and innate immunological parameters. Also, its effect on clinical outcomes such as mortality, infectious complications, length of stay will etc... will also be examined.  If this trial is successful, then a larger multicentre randomized controlled trial will be undertaken in the years to follow.

Anticipated Start Date: Late 2011
