According to Parkland formula, the amount of fluid to be infused in the first 24 hours to a burn patient of 70 kg weight having 50% total body surface area of burn will be

Correct option is C

Ans. (a) Sol. The Parkland formula for fluid resuscitation in burn patients is calculated as:
· 4 mL × weight (kg) × TBSA (% burn). For a 70 kg patient with 50% TBSA burns:
· 4 × 70 × 50 = 14,000 mL of fluid needed in the first 24 hours. Half of this is given in the first 8 hours, which would be 7000 mL.
· (b) 6000 mL: This is not correct as per the Parkland formula.
· (c) 5000 mL: This is too low for a burn patient with 50% TBSA.
· (d) 4000 mL: This is also too low for the situation described.
