It calculates the volume of fluid required overthe first 24-hour period following the burn (TBSA = total body surface area):4 ml × %TBSA × weight (kg)Half of this fluid should be given in the first 8 hours post-injury and theremainder over the next 16 hours. The recommended fluid is an isotoniccrystalloid such as Hartmann’s solution or normal saline.When calculating the TBSA, the ‘rule of 9s’ is employed. The head and upperlimbs represents 9% each, the anterior and posterior torso and each lowerlimb represent 18% each, and the perineum is the remaining 1%.The different depths of burns can be estimated from their appearance.Superficial burns have a localised area of pain and erythema, without signs ofblistering. <strong>Part</strong>ial-thickness burns involve the epidermis and the dermis andare red, painful and blistered. Full-thickness burns can be white and waxy orred and leathery. They are dry and painless, and involve the epidermis, dermisand subcutaneous tissues.
