some people have fatter legs or something. It's QUICKER but less precise than the Lund

resuscitation?
A. Young adults
B. Children and elderly patients
C. Athletes with high metabolic demand
D. Patients with superficial burns

tissues

consider?
A. Patient’s body weight before the burn injury
B. The patient's total fluid intake prior to arrival
C. The estimated TBSA, including superficial burns
D. The patient’s blood pressure readings
A. Patient's body weight before the burn injury
when adjusting the fluid rate, the calculation includes the PRE BURN weight in kq
