ABSTRACT
Medical nutrition therapy for burn patients aims to meet increased calorie needs and prevent energy-protein malnutrition due to hypermetabolic conditions. Medical nutrition therapy based on the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) guidelines for major burn patients is expected to help reduce the extent of burns. Medical nutrition therapy is individual and aims to help wound healing, improve nutritional status, help improve metabolic status, improve clinical outcomes, improve patient quality of life, and reduce the length of hospital stay by meeting adequate energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate and micronutrient needs during patient care in the hospital.
