Effects of enteral nutrition with different energy supplies on metabolic changes and organ damage in burned rats.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Enteral nutrition (EN) is an important treatment for burn patients. However, severe gastrointestinal damage caused by major burns often leads to EN intolerance. Trophic EN solves this problem basically, but how to transition from trophic EN to standard EN smoothly is still a challenge in burn clinical nutrition. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of EN with different energy supplies on metabolic changes, organ damage and prognosis in burned rats.

Methods

Different feeding regimens were designed based on the continuous monitoring of resting energy expenditure in rats. Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal control group, burn +50% REE group, burn +75% REE group and burn +100% REE group. At the end of a nutritional treatm
