Ảnh hưởng của thân nhiệt, nhiệt độ môi trường đối với tiêu hao năng lượng lúc nghỉ ở bệnh nhân bỏng nặng.

Abstract

This study evaluated the relationship between body temperature and the effect of room temperature on resting energy expenditure in 62 adult patients with severe burns. The core temperature increased steadily, peaked on the 14th day after burn, then gradually decreased and remained higher than the physiological level. Measured resting energy expenditure was 4.2 - 5.6 times higher than predicted ones based on the increase in body temperature at all times. When the room temperature reduced from 30⁰C to 27⁰C, the resting energy expenditure significantly increased from 2874.36 ± 528.19 Kcal/day to 3085.65 ± 634.05 Kcal/day (p < 0.01). It is necessary to keep a warm environment for severe burn patients to reduce hypermetabolic response.
