To add to this many common conditions in younger age
Fluid resuscitation is initiated in adults with >20 TBSA and children with >15 TBSA. A modified Parkland formula is suggested a balanced crystalloid is given at 2 ml/kg/ TBSA in the first 24 hours in combination with albumin 20 at 0.2 ml/ kg/ TBSA half of the total dose of crystalloids and colloids is given in the first eight hours the

Fluid resuscitation consists of rapid boluses of isotonic crystalloid IV fluids NS normal saline or LR lactated Ringer’s .
