Fluid Resuscitation in Burns: 2 cc, 3 cc, or 4 cc?

Purpose of Review A variety of burn resuscitation formulas, each with varying volumes and types of fluid being given, have been developed. The recommended fluid rate in these formulas ranges from 2 to 4 mL/kg/%total body surface area (TBSA), which could lead to variability among practitioners. As such, the purpose of this study is to evaluate which starting fluid rate is optimal for burn resuscitation.
