BURNS FLUID CALCULATOR
Name    Select patient age from the dropdown box: 
 
Date Printed    kg  
If patient weight is known, enter it here: kg
                         
    1. Calculate Total BSA involved in burn (exclude superficial erythema) %      
    2. Time since burn (in hours). If > 8 hours, seek specialist advice
hours      
                         
    3. Total fluid boluses given   ml      
                         
    4. Burns Replacement Fluid required over next 24 hours  ml of Hartmann's or 0.9% Saline
    Parkland formula (%BSA x Weight x 2)          
                         
    5. Half of this Volume given over first 8 hours (from time of burn) ml of Hartmann's or 0.9% Saline
    Rate of replacement fluid in first 8 hours (from time of burn) ml/h      
                         
    6. Second Half given over next 16 hours ml of Hartmann's or 0.9% Saline
    Rate of replacement fluid in next 16 hours ml/h      
                         
    7. Include Maintenance fluid ml in 24 hours  
    Maintenance Fluid rate ml/h      
                         
                         
    ie. Calculated fluid rate for first 8 hours is ml/h plus ml/h  
    Calculated fluid rate for next 16 hours is  ml/h plus ml/h  
                         
    Strict fluid balance must be documented. Insert IDC.          
    Fluid rate may need to be adjusted to maintain urine output 1-2ml/kg/h
