Abstract:
The metabolic response to traumatic brain injury includes hypermetabolism, hypercatabolism, hyperglycemia, acute phase response and immunosuppression, which are mediated mainly by hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis and cytokines. Sufficient nutritional support and appropriate metabolic intervention are believed clinically to play an important role on the mitigation of secondary brain damage, reduction of septic rate and improvement of patient′s outcomes.
