Parkland Burn Formula Calculation Example Nursing NCLEX Lecture Review

Parkland burn formula is used to calculate the amount of fluids needed 24 hours after a severe burn, such as partial-thickness (2nd degree) or higher. The most common fluid administered for burn injury is Lactated Ringer's. Fluid resuscitation is essential for patient survival after receiving severe burns.

This video will include parkland burn formula examples, and a link at the end of the video is available for parkland burn formula practice questions.

The Parkland burn formula is:

4 mL of LR x BSA % burned x kg body weight = total amount of fluids needed 24 hours after a burn injury

How is the total amount of fluids given using the Parkland Burn Formula?
Half of the fluid amount is given during the first 8 hours, and then other 1/2 of fluid is given over the next 16 hours to equal 24 hours.

To calculate the Parkland Burn Formula, you must know how to calculate total body surface area (BSA) that is burned in an adult.
Please see my video on how to calculate with the rule of nines for the BSA percentage.
