Abstract

Severe burn caused hypermetabolism-sustained muscle wasting and other comorbidities. The goal of nutrition support and other care management is to maintain energy homeostasis in burn patients. Due to dramatic changes and other factors that influence over the time course after burn, the plan of nutrition support has to be adjusted continuously with monitoring patient conditions. Inappropriate management of nutrition support adverses patients’ status and progress. The current principal of care management has been encouraged in severe burn patients, which includes earlier enteral feeding, 1.5-2g/kg of protein intake, and others. However, the detail of each territory in nutrition care is still under investigation. Further, nutrition support is more specialized for certain population as the time being.
