Podcast 731: Fluid Resuscitation in Burns

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
