WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVES Errors involving the delivery of IVFE containing soybean oil have known significant complications, including fat overload syndrome. However, little is known regarding the risks of fat overload syndrome with other types of lipid emulsions. CASE SUMMARY We describe a medication administration error that resulted in rapid fish oil-base lipid emulsion (Omegaven) infusion in a five-month-old infant with parenteral nutrition associated liver disease (PNALD). The medication administration error resulted in bolus infusion of Omegaven over 12 min (5 g/kg/h) instead of 12 h (0.083 g/kg/h). WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION No adverse reactions were notes because of the rapid infusion, supporting conclusion that rapid infusion of fish oil will not result in fat overload syndrome.
