Abstract
A patient who has experienced a major injury needs to undergo a careful assessment for hypermetabolism and malnutrition. Metabolic supportive therapy focuses on the support of the structural and functional integrity of organs and organ systems. The principles are derived from an understanding of the metabolic and physiologic responses to injury. When supportive therapy is applied in this manner, the chance of recovery can be significantly affected.
