ABSTRACT

A 25-year-old man is blue-lighted into the emergency department following an accident at work. A pan of hot cooking oil had spilled over half of his back and over both his legs and he has sustained extensive burns in this distribution. He weighs 70 kg. Calculate the additional volume of crystalloid this patient will require in the first 8 hours (from the time of his burn) of his treatment using the Parkland formula and the Wallace Rule of Nines.
