Parkland Formula — Burn Fluid Resuscitation
Calculate 24-hour Ringer's Lactate volume for thermal burns using 4 mL × kg × %TBSA. Splits the first 8h vs next 16h, adjusts for time elapsed since injury, and adds pediatric maintenance.

Touch-to-map TBSA on a Lund-Browder chart
DoctorScribe's burn module lets you tap body zones to compute %TBSA (age-adjusted), runs Parkland live, schedules hourly UOP reassessments, and prints the burn referral letter — works on any tablet.
Clinical Disclaimer: Parkland is a STARTING estimate, not a recipe. Titrate fluids to urine output every hour (0.5–1 mL/kg/hr adult; 1–2 mL/kg/hr child). Over-resuscitation ('fluid creep') causes abdominal compartment syndrome, ARDS, and limb-loss escharotomy. Inhalation injury or electrical burns need higher volumes. Always verify against your local prescribing reference and apply clinical judgment.
ER burn workflows that don't lose minutes
DoctorScribe captures TBSA on a touchable Lund-Browder body diagram, runs Parkland live as you adjust, and prescribes the RL bag count with infusion-pump rate — the way Safdarjung Burn Centre and CMC Vellore actually triage.
