- - The study investigated how minor burns can lead to increased metabolic rates (measured as measured energy expenditure or mEE) in outpatient adults using indirect calorimetry.
- - A total of 49 patients were evaluated, revealing that about 43% showed signs of hypermetabolism, and their energy intake was significantly lower than their mEE.
- - Findings suggest that patients with minor burns might require more energy than they are consuming, highlighting the importance of monitoring their dietary intake post-injury.
Introduction: Mass casualty incidents involving victims with severe burns pose difficult and unique problems for both rescue teams and hospitals. This paper presents an analysis of the published reports with the aim of proposing a rational model for burn rescue and hospital referral for Switzerland.
Methods: Literature review including systematic searches of PubMed/Medline, reference textbooks and journals as well as landmark articles.
