10 Whom we serve Nearest regional burn centers are Dallas, TX Oklahoma City, OK and Phoenix, AZ
11 Burn Center 2000 total patients cared for at TJH Burn Center 750 patients admitted to hospital/yr 175 patients need operations to heal Each patient needs an avg. of 3.5 operations to recover

15 Current Management of Major Burns Disaster Management Sarin gas attack Tokyo; Car bomb US Embassy, Nairobi; Train bomb Madrid; Station night club Rhode island What we know - ~1/3 who survive will be burned Avg major burn patients admitted to the hospital Average length of stay 2 months
16 Current Management of Major Burns Changes in Resuscitation Field delays to determine TBSA Confusion over the Parkland formula (2-4 cc LRxKgxTBSA) Fluid creep
17 Current Management of Major Burns Changes in Resuscitation Prehospital: <5 yrs 125 cc LR/hr (prior to accurate 6 yrs 13 yrs 250 cc LR/hr TBSA) 14 yrs 500 cc LR/hr Once accurate TBSA determined 1 st half over 1 st 8 hours 2 nd half of remaining 16 hours 14 yrs 2cc LRxKgX TBSA chemical or thermal <14 yrs 3cc LRxKgx TBSA any cause 14 yrs 4cc LRxKgx TBSA electrical
18 Example Resuscitation Formula 50 % TBSA (2 nd and 3 rd degree burns only) Age 28, 70 Kg. 2 ml X 80kg X 50 % TBSA = 8,000 cc Give 4,000 ml over the 1 st 8 hours (500cc/hr Give the other 4,00 ml over the next 16 hours (250cc/hr)
