The Currie formula, also known as the Curreri formula, is used to estimate the daily caloric requirements for burn patients. It differs for adults and children.
- Adults: 25 kcal/kg + (40 kcal x % total body surface area burned (%TBSA))
- Children: 60 kcal/kg + (35 kcal x % TBSA)
This formula helps healthcare professionals determine the appropriate caloric intake to support healing and recovery in burn patients.
