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

Formel

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

Steg-för-steg-guide

  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

Lösta exempel

Ingång
70 kg patient with 40% TBSA burn
Resultat
Total 24hr fluids = 11,200 mL; give 5,600 mL in first 8 hours
Using Ringer's lactate

Vanliga misstag att undvika

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

Vanliga frågor

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.
