[EB 51 (Trivemil), a complete nutriment for parenteral alimentation].

EB 51 (Trivemil) is an original fat emulsion containing L. aminoacids and glucids in its liquid phase in the following proportions: amino acids: 60 gl/l corresponding to 8,77 g of nitrogen or 250 calories, sorbitol: 100 g/l or 400 calories wheatgerm oil: 38 g/l or 350 calories. This preparation supplies 1000 per liter. Its objective is to furnish simultaneously the amino acids as well as the energy necessary for their anabolism. EB 51 was administered in 43 patients during several days at a dosage of 1000 or 1500 ml. The tolerance of the product was excellent. Its usefulness was appreciated by nitrogen balance studies as well lipid blood tests. The clearing of the plasma in practically all the cases was very good and the nitrogen saved was almost equivalent to the amount furnished. The indications, dosage and contreindications of EB 51 are detailed.
