Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A 70-kg adult with a 50% total body surface area burn and a body surface area of 2 m requires the following:
Basal = (1500 ml/day)(2 m² body surface area)= 3000 ml/24 hr or 125 ml/hr
Evaporative = (25 + 50% total body surface burn)
(2m² total body surface area)= (75)(2)= 150 ml/hr
Total maintenance fluids = 125 ml + 150 ml = 275 ml/hr
