Principles of Perinatal-Neonatal Metabolism

  • 358 Accesses

Abstract

Postoperative or posttraumatic morbidity and mortality in the high risk adult patient have been correlated with, and may be participated by, the magnitude and duration of the metabolic response to the stressful event. Complications such as severe weight loss, cardiopulmonary insufficiency, thromboembolic disorders, gastric stress ulcers, impaired immunological function, prolonged convalescence, and death have been related to aspects of the metabolic response to surgical or traumatic stress.1,2
