Official Title: Effects of Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation on Inflammatory Response in Multisystem Trauma Patients
Brief Summary: This study will evaluate the effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on inflammation in trauma patients. The main hypothesis is that such supplementation will reduce the presence of biomarkers of systemic inflammation, as compared to placebo
Detailed Summary: This prospective, randomized study will evaluate the effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on inflammatory response in multi-injured trauma patients. Its primary objective is to compare the intensity of inflammation between an active omega-3 group and a placebo group.
