A burn patient weighs 60 kg with 40% TBSA burn. Using Parkland formula, fluid requirement in 24 hrs = 4 ml × 60 × 40 = 9600 ml. If calculated requirement was 4800 ml, how much should be given in the first 8 hrs?

Correct option is B

Parkland: Half of total fluid in first 8 hours, remaining half over next 16 hrs. For 4800 ml total → first 8 hr = 2400 ml.
Explanation of options: (a) ✘ 1200 ml is only 25%, too low. (b) ✔ Correct; 2400 ml in first 8 hrs. (c) ✘ 3200 ml = two-thirds, incorrect. (d) ✘ 4800 ml = entire 24-hr fluid, wrong distribution.
