Energy expenditure following biodegradable dermal matrix application in severe burn injury: A pilot study
A substantial hypermetabolic response was not observed following BTM application. While the Toronto equation most closely predicted energy requirements, considerable variability was observed, highlighting the value of IC to guide nutrition support in severe burns where nutritional needs change over time. A larger multicentre study is required to substantiate the effect of BTM application on energy expenditure.
