All aspects of nutritional support are identical in these patient groups irrespective of patient demographic differences
Physiology of acute or chronic wounds is important to identity nutritional needs
A chronic wound patient's nutritional needs are more difficult to understand as compared to a trauma patient because of coexisting illness.
Micronutrients in chronic wounds serve as necessary cofactors for enzymatic reactions.
Yes
No
Acute-phase response
Consumption during metabolism
Inadequate replacement
All of the above
To meet ongoing demands and supply e.g., for wound healing
Replenish the loss of lean body mass e.g., during chronic illness
Effective immune function
Trace elements (Fe, Cu, Se, and Zn) are involved in humoral and cellular immunity.
The hypermetabolic and hypercatabolic response following severe burn injury necessitates an aggressive nutrition replacement.
Decreased levels of Vitamins A, C, and D, iron, zinc, and selenium have been associated with increased wound healing and immune function after severe burn injury.
Appropriate nutrient delivery can be achieved by feeding 1.2 to 1.4 times the measured resting energy expenditures.
