| 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
