[Expert consensus on enteral nutrition treatment for burned children (2025 edition)].

Abstract

Burns lead to a substantial increase in energy expenditure of body, making timely and effective nutritional support essential for burn management. The metabolic responses to burns in children are significantly different from those in adults, necessitating distinct approaches for nutritional support and treatment. Through processes including literature review, questionnaire survey, and evidence screening, the experts from Pediatric Burn Study Group of Chinese Burn Association, Burn Trauma Professional Committee of Chinese Medical Women's Association, and Pediatric Burn and Plastic Surgery Professional Committee of Beijing Research Society for Human Body Injury Repair conducted in-depth discussions and reached a consensus on enteral nutrition treatment for burned children in terms of nutritional screening, energy calculation, nutritional timing, and nutritional modalities, hoping to provide reference standards for clinical practice.
