Abstract
In severe burns, increased intestinal permeability facilitates bacterial translocation, resulting in systemic endotoxemia and multi‐organ failure. We investigated the role of burn‐induced gastrointestinal dysmotility (BIGD) in promoting bacterial translocation following burn injury, and the protective effect of ghrelin in this process.
