Early Initiation of Post-Pyloric Feeding in Patients with Major Burns: Experience in Taiwan Formosa Water Park Dust Explosion Disaster.

Therefore, EPF can be successfully initiated with beneficial outcomes of nutritional reconstruction in severely burned patients. PMID: 30787234 [PubMed - in process]
