Wounds, 06/19/09
Yamamoto T et al. - Pressure ulcers in patients who received more than 30 kcal/kg per day improved or healed, while those of patients who received less than 20 kcal/kg per day worsened or failed to improve. Furthermore, intake of 30 kcal/kg per day enabled serum albumin levels to improve. Energy intake of 30 kcal/kg per day is comparable to the predicted total energy expenditure and is thought to be essential for improving pressure ulcers in bedridden patients.
