Nutrition in Head TraumaDepartment of Surgery, Guthrie Healthcare System, Sayre, Pennsylvania
Department of Surgery, Guthrie Healthcare System, Sayre, Pennsylvania Metabolic alterations play a significant role in the human response to all forms of injury and sepsis. It is therefore logical to be concerned about the impact of these alterations on a patient with an isolated head injury. As it becomes more apparent that head injury alone results in increased energy expenditure as part of the systemic response to that injury, efforts will need to be directed to the support of those requirements and to the assessment of the host response to that effort.
