title: Early oral feeding of patients with extensive burns.
abstract: The oral administration of fluid to patients with extensive burns is usually acceptable during the first 48 h post-burn. Nutrients can be added to the drinks, whereby a hyperalimentation regimen can be reached within a few days. However, accurate monitoring through laboratory investigations needs to be carried out during this treatment.
