Nutrition and Metabolism in Burn Patients

Clark, A., Imran, J., Madni, T., et al. (2017). Nutrition and Metabolism in Burn Patients. Burns Trauma. 5(11).
Tailored nutrition is important following burn injury, because extensive burns can cause hypermetabolism and increased catabolism, in turn leading to muscle wasting. Poor nutrition can lead to impaired healing, organ dysfunction, or infection. The authors emphasize the need to monitor and adjust nutrition to the individual patient.
