Bioengineering Fundamentals via Ann Saterbak book
11 (M) A burn patient comes into a hospital emergency room. She is immediately connected to an IV bag to replace the fluids she has lost during an accident and is currently losing by evaporation from her skin. Initially, you must administer IV fluid at a higher rate than she is currently losing it to replace the fluid lost in the accident. Once the patient is stabilized, you want to administer the fluid at the same rate that she is losing it through evaporation. You are interested in writing an accounting equation to determine the rate of IV fluid replacement, Answer the above questions for the initial time period and for the time after she is stabilized.Explanation / Answer
Ans- by using parkland formula we can manage the IV fluid replacement. according to the formula in severe burn cases the fluid is itroduced at a rate of 4ml/kg/% burn of the body weight for the first 24 hours.
After these 24 hours or after getting stablized it is introduced with albumin colloid at a rate of 0.3-1 ml/kg/% burn.
