408 The Effect of Hypoglycemia and Glucose Control on Patient Outcomes after Burn Injury

Burn injuries are associated with an increase in glucose production and insulin resistance. Hypermetabolism causes further protein catabolism that feeds into gluconeogenesis, thus exacerbating the hyperglycemic state. The purpose of this study is to better understand how hypoglycemia can affect patient outcomes in burn injuries, and what effect glucose control has on these outcomes. This is a retrospective study from patients admitted between …
