Estimate 24-hour Parkland crystalloid volume and the first-eight-hours half from weight and %TBSA.
| 24 h volume | – |
| First 8 h | – |
Use this calculator for the Parkland formula: 4 ml × kg × %TBSA over 24 hours from the time of injury, with half in the first 8 hours and the rest over the next 16. It is a starting crystalloid sketch; urine output then titrates the rate. Superficial burns, inhalation injury, and delayed presentation change the plan. This does not replace a burns service.
Weight can be entered in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lb); the calculator converts to kilograms before the formula. Volumes are shown in millilitres (ml) or fluid ounces (fl oz).
Weight: Body weight, in kg or lb.
TBSA (%): Burned surface area, percent.
24 h: Total crystalloid for 24 hours.
First 8 h: Half of that total.
