2ml LR x weight kg x %TBSA fluid in 16 hrs (1/2 8 and 1/2 8)
2ml LR x weight kg x %TBSA fluid in 24hrs (1/2 8 and 1/2 16)
3ml LR x weight kg x %TBSA fluid in 16 hrs (1/2 8 and 1/2 8)

what are signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning?
confusion, anxiety, facial burns, sooty nose or mouth
Why is warmed Lacted Ringers the fluid of choice with BSA over 20%/
We can bill more for it.
It helps to buffer metabolic acidosis in early burn stages
It reduces the risk for third spacing due to is osmolality
It binds the CO in the bloodstream
Why do we only evaluate 2nd, 3rd and 4th degree burn surface area for estimation?
That's what the text book teaches
This question is wrong and all degree's are considered
We only evaluate 3rd and 4th degree burn surface area
There's no physiological change that occurs with 1st degree
what is a third degree burn
full thickness) Black, Non blanchable, charred
full thickness) Black, Non blanchable, charred
muscles, tendons, and bones
(superficial) epidermis Dry but blanchable, superficial

7560, 1st 8 hours: 50% of total → 3780 mL 2nd 8 hours: 25% of total → 1890 mL 3rd 8 hours: 25% of total → 1890 mL
what takes place in the rehab phase of burns?
Rehabilitative: Discharge PT/OT Education on wound care Education on infection prevention Psychological support due to new body

what does increased carbon monoxide poisioning mean in the body?
decrease in carbon in the body
Increased carbon monoxide means it replaces oxygen in RBC
increases oxygen in the blood

How does Cyno-Kit assist in the excretion of Hydrogen Cyanide for the burn patient from an enlosed area
It stores the Cyanide for later fat metabolixm
It binds to Cyanide for excretion in the stool
It binds to Cyanide and allows it to be exhaled
Binds to Cyanide an converts to B12 for urine excretion
