Baxter (Parkland) Burn Resuscitation
First-24-hour fluid resuscitation for thermal burns ≥ 20 % TBSA (adult) or ≥ 10 % (pediatric). Crystalloid (lactated Ringer's preferred). Titrate to urine output 0.5 ml/kg/h adult, 1 ml/kg/h pediatric.
Total fluid (ml) = 4 × weight (kg) × TBSA (%) · 50 % over first 8 h, 50 % over remaining 16 h
kg
Selected total: 0%. Anterior & posterior surfaces are scored independently.

Partial- and full-thickness burns only. Use Rule of Nines or Lund-Browder.
Time zero = time of burn injury, NOT time of presentation. Subtract any fluid already given. Crystalloid only — colloids withheld in the first 24 h.
Tap any region — front and back are counted independently (Rule of Nines with A/P split).
