Abstract
⺠n-3 PUFAs attenuate acute inflammatory response in surgical patients. ⺠They improve clinical outcomes such as decreased infection rate. ⺠They reduce the length of hospital and intensive care unit stay. ⺠No deleterious immunologic effects of n-3 PUFAs have been reported. ⺠No sufficient evidence about a positive effect of n-3 PUFAs on mortality is available.
