Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are honored to present this special issue of the European Burn Journal, dedicated to nutritional support during burn care. All submissions are peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be published immediately.
Nutrition is one of the cornerstones of burn care. Major burn patients remain different from other critically ill patients by the amplitude of their inflammatory and metabolic alterations: adequate nutrition is essential to accommodate these metabolic changes. Nutrition is also essential for wound healing, and should not be neglected in patients with minor burns. Unfortunately, many nutritional strategies are still expert-driven, in absence of robust evidences.
In this Special Issue, we would like to present clinically relevant updates for every aspects of clinical nutrition during burn care from early resuscitation to recovery: quantitative and qualitative aspects of macronutrients and micronutrients intakes, routes and modes of feeding, timing of feeding, monitoring, anabolic and anticatabolic agents, effects of nutritional strategies on long term outcomes (physical and metabolic status, healing) are some topics that will be carefully considered. The link between nutritional support and the microbiome can also be addressed. Experimental papers, research papers, up-to-date review articles, and commentaries are all welcome.
