Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists mimic the action of GLP-1, a hormone that regulates blood glucose levels via stimulation of insulin release and inhibition of glucagon secretion. After the burn, the current literature suggests that the use of GLP-1 agonists results in less insulin dependence with similar glucose control and hypoglycemic events to patients receiving a basal-bolus insulin regimen. Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists may also promote wound healing through various mechanisms including angiogenesis and improved keratinocyte migration. Despite the potential benefits, GLP-1 agonists reduce gastrointestinal motility which impacts their widespread adoption in burn care. This dysmotility can result in inadequate nutrition delivery, unintentional weight loss, and is a potential aspiration risk. The net impact of these medications on patients with burns is unclear. Given their potential to demonstrate the safety, efficacy, and optimal dosing of various GLP-1 agonists in acute burn management.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Burn Care & Research provides the latest information on advances in burn prevention, research, education, delivery of acute care, and research to all members of the burn care team. As the official publication of the American Burn Association, this is the only U.S. journal devoted exclusively to the treatment and research of patients with burns. Original, peer-reviewed articles present the latest information on surgical procedures, acute care, reconstruction, burn prevention, and research and education. Other topics include physical therapy/occupational therapy, nutrition, current events in the evolving healthcare debate, and reports on the newest computer software for diagnostics and treatment. The Journal serves all burn care specialists, from physicians, nurses, and physical and occupational therapists to psychologists, counselors, and researchers.
