    The multiple trauma victim: a nutritional cripple.

    • R J Gusberg.

    AbstractMajor trauma often precipitates major malnutrition. In many patients, this malnutrition underlies the morbidity and mortality associated with major injury, often leading to multiple organ failure and refractory sepsis. The clinical challenge is to anticipate these potential nutritional problems and intervene early and appropriately, recognizing that it is far easier to prevent malnutrition than it is to reverse it.
