Parkland Formula Calculator
24-hour burn fluid resuscitation: 4 mL × weight (kg) × %TBSA of second- and third-degree burns.
Enter weight and %TBSA to calculate the 24-hour plan.
Clinical notes
The clock starts at the time of injury, not arrival — fluid already given counts toward the first-8-hours half. %TBSA includes partial- and full-thickness burns only (rule of nines or Lund-Browder), never first-degree.
The formula is a starting point: actual titration follows urine output — commonly ~0.5 mL/kg/hr in adults — and provider direction.
Educational use only. Burn resuscitation is provider-directed and titrated to urine output and hemodynamics; this calculator supports learning and independent double-checks only. This material supports nursing education and exam review. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for clinical judgment, institutional policy, or medical direction. Always follow facility protocols and current provider orders.
