[Caloric substitution in the septic phase of burn disease (author's transl)]

Energy turnover of septic burned patients was favourably influenced by infusion of glucose 40% one unit of Insulin for each 3 grams of glucose along with 0.5% protein preparate and 50-100 grams of aminoacids, administered by way of a cave cathether. The burned patients treated according to this protocol need less amount of blood, apart from the protein sparing effect, as it may be deduced from the studies on forty severely burned patients.
