Thermal Burns( Most Common) Caused by flame, flash, scald, or
contact burns
STOP & DROP Roll to shut off O2 supply to
fire Flush or immerse in cold
water DO NOT use ICE on deep
burns, just localized, superficial burns

Using the Parkland formula, a client who has full and deep partial thickness burns to 30% of his body is to receive 6000ml of fluid over the next 24 hours. You would administer:
1/3, 1/3 and 1/3 during each 8 hour period 1/2, 1/4, and 1/4 during each 8 hour period 1/4, 1/4, 1/4 and 1/4 during each 6 hour period 1/8, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 during each 6 hour period
