Metabolic response to injury proposed by Cuthbertson et al. A short ebb phase characterized by hypometabolism occurs immediately after the injury and is characterized by a decrease in metabolic rate, oxygen consumption, body temperature, and enzymatic activity. The ebb phase is followed by a longer hypermetabolic flow phase marked by an increased catabolism, with a high oxygen consumption and an elevated REE rate. Reused with permission from [16].
