Palm Method
used for scattered burn injuries
note:
* size of the palm of patient = 1 %
Lund and Browder
most precise / accurate
% corresponds to anatomic parts based on client’s age
ideally used for pediatric clients
Baxter Formula
aka: Parkland Formula
used to estimate the amount of IVF to be administered
in a burn client
formula:
4 mL x weight in kg x % TBSA
Note:
- computed amount should be administered
within 24 hours
- example:
A 50-kg patient sustained burn injury with 10% TBSA.
How much fluid is to be administered per hour on the
first 8 hours?
4 mL x 50 x 10 = 2000 mL
4 mL x 50 x 10 = 2000 mL
ANESTHESIOLOGIST

ANESTHESIA
1. local
* ex. Lidocaine, Xylocaine, Nupercaine
2. regional
* epidural – epidural space
* spinal – subarachnoid space
* intrathecal – spinal canal
3. General
- state of:
* analgesia – loss of sensation
* amnesia – loss of memory
* narcosis – CNS depression
* loss of consciousness
- route:
* inhalation
- true gas (Nitrous Oxide)
- volatile liquid (Sevoflurane)
* intravenous
(Propofol, Methohexital, Ketamine)
- stages:
*B–E–S–M
1. Beginning
- “induction stage”
- patient is conscious but lies quietly
- exaggerated perception of sound
2. Excitement
- patient’s movement escalates
* struggling, shouting, crying, laughing
- rapid pulse, irregular respiration
- dilated pupils (reactive to light)
3. Surgical
- “operative stage”
- patient is unconscious
- stable VS
- surgery is performed
4. Medullary Depression
- “danger stage”
- d/t over-administration of anesth. agent
- weak pulse, shallow respiration, low BP,
- dilated pupils (non-reactive to light)
- stop anesthesia administration
- prepare to administer narcotic antagonist
* Naloxone (Narcan)
Barbiturate
- sedative
Morphine
- analgesic
Succinylcholine
- muscle relaxant
Atropine
- anti-cholinergic
* decreases body secretions = aspir’n.
* relaxes smooth muscles
* increases HR
* bronchodilation effect
