Fluid replacement in burns. A burns calculator.
The successful treatment of major burns depends upon accurate and early fluid replacement in the first 36 h. A burns calculator has been designed, based upon the Muir and Barclay formula, which should facilitate the estimation of fluid requirements in burned patients and therefore improve their immediate management in accident and emergency departments.
