The History of the Metabolic Response to Injury

  • Chapter
Acute Catabolic State

Part of the book series: Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((UICM,volume 21))

Abstract

It was 200 years ago that Hunter [1] made the observation that: “… there is a circumstance attending accidental injury which does not belong to disease — viz. that the injury done has in all cases a tendency to produce both the disposition and the means of cure.”
