The Metabolic Basis of the Increase in Energy Expenditure in Severely Burned Patients*

ABSTRACT. Background: Severe burn trauma is characterized by an elevated rate of whole-body energy expenditure. Approach: In this short review, we have attempted to assess the metabolic characteristics of and basis for the persistent increase in energy expenditure during the flow phase of the injury. We consider some aspects of normal energy metabolism, including the contribution of the major adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-consuming reactions to the standard or basal metabolic rate. Rate estimates are ...
