Abstract
The burn patient has become the classic experimental model for the study of hypermetabolism and the catabolic state. Multiple investigators have documented increases of 50–100% over normal basal metabolic rates in patients with major cutaneous injuries, a situation that indicates special concern for the provision of adequate nutritional support.
