Calculate fluid resuscitation for burn patients.
Parkland: 4 mL x kg x %TBSA of lactated Ringer's over 24 h, half in the first 8 h counted from the time of injury (not arrival). Count partial- and full-thickness burns only. Adult formula: children need maintenance fluid in addition, and newer protocols (e.g. ABLS) start with a lower initial rate - always titrate to urine output (about 0.5 mL/kg/h adults) and clinical response.

Parkland Formula is built on published formulas and reference ranges from established health sources. We revisit it periodically as guidance evolves; the "Last reviewed" date above shows when that last happened. If something looks wrong, tell us with the feedback button in the bottom-right corner.
No. Parkland Formula gives you a general estimate based on the inputs you provide, not a diagnosis. Existing conditions, medications, and individual history all change what a number actually means for you. Treat this as a starting point for a conversation with a doctor or other qualified health professional, not a substitute for one.
