摘要:

Rehabilitation may assume a low priority at the time of a burn patient's admission, but immediate referral for this service can greatly affect a patient's ultimate functional outcome. Beyond survival considerations, medical interventions such as placement of intravenous lines, escharotomies, and ventilatory parameters can affect the physical management of a patient. Timely initiation of proper positioning and exercise after admission contributes to an optimal patient recovery.

摘要:

Nutrition care is an emergent need in burn patients. Early enteral feeding, by 48 hours after the injury, can attenuate the patient's hypermetabolic response and reduce the incidence of infection. To accomplish this, feeding tubes must be placed early in severely burned patients. Adequate calorie and protein intake is an essential component of this treatment plan. Research is still needed, especially in determining the optimal feeding composition of macronutrients and micronutrients, Ongoing nutrition care plan evaluation is necessary in dealing with the changing needs of the burn patient.
