Vanlige feil å unngå

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

Ofte stilte spørsmål

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.
