Final answer:
The American Burn Association recommends the Parkland-Baxter formula for estimating fluid requirements after burn injuries.
Step-by-step explanation:
The American Burn Association recommends the consensus formula of the Parkland-Baxter formula as an estimation of the fluid requirements in the initial 24 hours after serious burn injuries.
The Parkland-Baxter formula states that 4 mL of lactated Ringer's solution per kilogram of body weight per percent of total body surface area burned should be administered within the first 24 hours after the burn.
For example, if a person weighs 70 kilograms and has a 20 percent burn, the fluid requirement would be 4 mL x 70 kg x 20% = 560 mL per hour.
