Study Notes
Burn Patient Management
- The Parkland Formula is used to calculate fluid requirements for burn patients in the first 24 hours after injury.
- The formula is: Total Fluid Requirement (mL) = 4 × Body Weight (kg) × % TBSA burned.
- 50% of the total fluid requirement is given in the first 8 hours, and the remaining 50% is given over the next 16 hours.
Modified Brooke Formula
- The Modified Brooke Formula is an alternative to the Parkland Formula with slightly different fluid requirements.
- The formula is: Total Fluid Requirement (mL) = 2 × Body Weight (kg) × % TBSA burned.
- The administration of fluids is the same as the Parkland Formula: 50% in the first 8 hours, and 50% in the next 16 hours.
Urine Output Monitoring
- Urine output is used as a guide to adjust fluid resuscitation.
- The target urine output is 0.5 mL/kg/hr for adults and 1 mL/kg/hr for children.
Rule of Nines for Estimating TBSA
- The Rule of Nines is used to estimate the total body surface area (TBSA) affected by burns in adults.
- The areas and their corresponding percentages are:
- Head and Neck: 9%
- Each Arm: 9% (total for both arms = 18%)
- Each Leg: 18% (total for both legs = 36%)
- Anterior Trunk: 18%
- Posterior Trunk: 18%
- Perineum: 1%
Maintenance Fluid Calculation for Pediatric Patients
- In addition to resuscitation fluids, children may need maintenance fluids calculated based on their body weight.
- The formula for daily maintenance fluid is: 100 mL/kg for the first 10 kg + 50 mL/kg for the next 10 kg + 20 mL/kg for each additional kg.
- The formula for hourly maintenance fluid is: 4 mL/kg for the first 10 kg + 2 mL/kg for the next 10 kg + 1 mL/kg for each additional kg.
