Abstract
Severe burns can lead to persistent hypermetabolism. Studies have shown that early enteral nutrition therapy is related to improving the prognosis of severe burn patients, reducing the mortality rate, and reducing gastrointestinal complications and infectious complications. This article introduces the nutritional benefits and non-nutritive benefits of early enteral nutrition therapy for severe burn patients (maintaining the integrity of the intestinal mucosa function and structure and promoting wound healing), the timing and pathways of nutritional intervention, ways of energy evaluation, and nutritional monitoring, etc., aiming to provide a reference for the clinical decision-making of early enteral nutrition therapy.
