Evaluate the presence and degree of hypermetabolic response in patients with moderate burn injuries (10-19% TBSA).
Conducted a prospective analysis on burn patients with 10-19% TBSA
Performed indirect calorimetry to measure resting energy expenditure (REE)
Compared measured REE to predicted REE based on standard equations
Patients with 10-19% TBSA burns showed significant elevations in measured REE
Only 3 of 19 patients did not experience hypermetabolism
Average REE was 34% higher than normal, with 75% exhibiting sustained hypermetabolism for up to 3.5 weeks post-injury
