Scenario Overview: You are dispatched to a residential fire involving a 35-year-old male patient who sustained severe burns to his chest, abdomen, and both arms. The patient is conscious but in severe pain and showing signs of respiratory distress due to smoke inhalation. Your responsibilities include calculating the Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) of burns, using the Parkland Formula to estimate fluid resuscitation, administering pain management, and potentially securing an advanced airway if the patient’s condition deteriorates. You will face clinical judgment decisions during the on scene, en route, and post scene phases.On Scene Phase:What percentage of Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) is affected if the patient has burns on his entire chest, abdomen, and both arms (using the Rule of Nines)?
