Surgical Clinics of North America. 91(3):609-.
This review focuses on nutritional support to decrease post-burn hyper-metabolism and insulin resistance. The authors recommend enteral delivery of high-protein, high carbohydrate feedings and drugs to promote anabolism, in addition to thermoregulation and early excision and grafting of wounds. This resource remains informative, though somewhat dated; note that oxandrolone has been withdrawn by the FDA.
