Abstract:
Wound is the most fundamental issue of burn injury, and its repair depends not only on effective wound treatment, but also on the good nutritional status of burned patients. Nutrition support is an important means to improve the nutritional status of patients and promote wound healing, and how to make it match the metabolism of burn wounds is a difficult task of nutrition therapy. In this paper, we analyzed the metabolic characteristics of different stages in burn wound healing, focused on the metabolic characteristics of glucose, protein, and glutamine in these stages, and proposed a nutritional strategy that is compatible with wound healing in order to maximize the role of nutrition therapy in wound repair.
