Parkland Formula — Burn Fluid Resuscitation

Parameter	Value
Patient Weight (kg)
TBSA Burned (%)
Results (Lactated Ringer's)
Total 24-hour volume	mL
First 8 hours (½ of total)	mL
Rate for first 8 hours	mL/hr
Next 16 hours (½ of total)	mL
Rate for next 16 hours	mL/hr

Notes
Formula: 4 mL × body weight (kg) × %TBSA burned = total fluid for first 24 hours Give first half over the first 8 hours from time of burn (not from time of presentation) Give second half over the next 16 hours Use Lactated Ringer's solution Titrate to urine output: 0.5–1 mL/kg/hr in adults; 1 mL/kg/hr in children This is a starting point — adjust based on clinical response
