Podcast 731: Fluid Resuscitation in Burns

Contributor: Chris Holmes, MD

Educational Pearls:

Parkland Formula: 4 mL x [Total Body Surface Area Burned (%)] x [body weight (kg)] given in 24 hours
- 50% given over 8 hours and 50% given over the next 16 hours
Brooke Formula: 2 mL x [Total Body Surface Area Burned (%)] x [body weight (kg)] given in 24 hours
- 50% given over 8 hours and 50% given over the next 16 hours
2009 military study evaluated Parkland vs. Brooke formulas for severe burn patients and found the outcomes were the same
Guidelines are in flux on which formula to use, but reducing the overall volume using the Brooke formula can be done without significant change in morbidity or mortality
Using fluid responsiveness by measuring urine output and signs of fluid overload can help guide overall resuscitative approach in burn patients
