TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - The metabolic response to injury in the surgical/trauma patient JO - Dimensions of critical care nursing A1 - Fitzsimmons, L. A1 - Hadley, S. A. SP - 4 EP - 12 VL - 10 IS - 1 N2 - Following tissue injury or surgical intervention, critically ill patients experience metabolic alterations that may either eventually resolve or progress to Hypermetabolic Multiple Systems Organ Failure. An understanding of these processes allows critical care nurses to monitor their patients' clinical status following trauma or surgical intervention and fosters an appreciation of patients' nutritional needs.
