I'm going to say its part of stress hypermetabolism characterized by substantial increases in metabolic rate, oxygen consumption, and production of carbon dioxide and heat. Energy requirements are amplified by 30% to 50%4 to support inflammation, immune function, and tissue repair.
Yes, its prognostic. There are studies that show increased morbity and sepsis associated with hyperglycemia associated with trauma.
How'd I do?
