Parkland formula estimates fluid requirements for burn resuscitation. It guides IV fluid administration in the first 24 hours post-burn.

ସୂତ୍ର

Calculate: Volume (mL) = 4 × body weight (kg) × %TBSA burned

ଷ୍ଟେପ୍-ଷ୍ଟେପ୍ ଗାଇଡ୍ |

  1. 1Calculate: Volume (mL) = 4 × body weight (kg) × %TBSA burned
  2. 2Give half in first 8 hours, half over next 16 hours
  3. 3Use Ringer's lactate; monitor urine output and adjust

ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ

ଇନପୁଟ୍
70 kg patient with 40% TBSA burn

  • Including inhalation injury fluid in formula (requires separate consideration)
  • Forgetting to subtract pre-hospital fluids received

Why Ringer's lactate instead of normal saline?

Ringer's has lower sodium and adds lactate, better matching extracellular fluid and preventing hyperchloremic acidosis.

Is Parkland formula always accurate?

It's a starting estimate; titrate fluids based on urine output (0.5 mL/kg/hr) and clinical response.
