The Burn Fluid Calculator is used to calculate the quantity of fluid needed for victims of burns to ensure they remain hemodynamically stable. The app has two formulas used for calculating the necessary fluids.
1. The Muir and Barclay Formula estimates the amount of fluid that needs to be infused during the first 36 hours after a major burn.
The volume for each aliqout for a specific period is calculated using the following formula: (weight in kilograms multiplied by the percentage total body surface area of the burn) divided by two.
