Study Notes
Nutrition and Trauma
- Under nutrition increases the likelihood of sepsis, multiple organ system failure, and death, and also delays wound healing.
- Adequate nutrition allows normal responses that optimize wound healing and recovery.
- Nutritional support should be provided before significant weight loss occurs.
Nutritional Requirements for Trauma Patients
- Energy requirements are determined from standard tables based on age, sex, and body surface area, and adjusted for increase in metabolic rate due to injury or disease.
- Protein requirements are 15-20% of calorie intake to achieve nitrogen balance.
- Carbohydrates should provide 60% of caloric needs.
- Fat should meet the rest of energy needs apart from protein and carbohydrates.
- Multivitamins are given daily along with supplements of vitamin C, which is required in increased amounts after injury.
Burns
- Thermal and chemical burns can occur due to contact with heat or chemicals, causing damage to the skin and underlying structures.
- Severe surface burns can penetrate to deeper body structures, such as fat, muscle, or bone.
- Burns can be classified based on extent, depth, patient age, and associated illness or injury.
Classification of Burns
- First-degree burns: superficial reddening of the skin, no blistering, and regeneration of new skin tissue from epithelial cells.
- Second-degree burns: erythema, blistering, and necrosis within the dermis.
- Third-degree burns: total loss of skin including the fat layer, hair follicles, and sweat glands.
Post-Surgery Nutritional Care
- Vitamins are required for wound healing after surgery, including supplements of vitamin C for tissue generation.
- Vitamin K is essential for preventing blood loss.
- Adequate intake of minerals, such as potassium and phosphorus, is necessary to replace losses and correct deficiencies.
- Aggressive nutrition support is important to avoid post-operative complications and mortality.
- Oral feedings should begin as soon as possible to provide adequate nutrition.
