    While in Paramedic School we all learned about burn patient fluid replaced, in reality is this something we will accomplish (or even attempt to start) in the course of our normal contact with these patients?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    Parkland says 4mL x kg of body weight x total body surface area.

    So for a 220 pounder with 25% burned, 4x100x25 = 10,000mL over 24 hours; 5,000mL in first 8 hours, therefore only 625mL per hour. With a supposed 30 minute time from incident to arrival at the Trauma Center that’s 312mL.

    The guideline is recommended to be metered out well (like with an infusion pump) so be careful about what you give these patients.
