2.what is the amount of fluid needed to give in the first 24 hrs and how?

i think the BSA% burned is 35.5% about the fliud ther are many diffrent regimes some favour the use of colloid soultion like FFP or human albumin but in genral they give intially as bollus 20ml/kg   of RL then we use the following formula:
24h replacement=body weight in (kg)* 4* BSA so half of this amount given in first 8 hrs the remainig given in next 16 hrs.finally i think the cause of the convultion is infective and the most common cause is tetanus
