    I know the formulas..I was just trying to see which one was most commonly used cuz they r a tad different

    What I was also trying to say is that the Parkland formula is the most common one I have encountered. You really could use all of them. There is more than one way to skin a cat.

    Really physician preference and that will vary where they went to med school. The subtleties don't matter all that much.....The point is....the fluid gets replaced

    Remember too that it's not just a check list-- "Fluid replacement by formula-- check... Next?" What's important is results, meaning monitoring and assessments by well-educated nurses; this why it doesn't matter that much which one gets used.
