Burn surface area estimate and first-window fluid rate: child leg proportion · case 05

Leg burns in young children are over-estimated and the chart totals exceed 100%.

Member previewVariant 5 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

Input {age_years (int), weight_kg, regions {name: fraction burned}, hours_since_burn}. Toy rule of nines: arms 9, trunk front 18, trunk back 18, perineum 1; age >= 10 head 9 and each leg 18; age < 10 head 18-age and each leg (27+age)/2. TBSA = sum(region % x fraction). Major burn when TBSA >= 20 (age >= 10) or >= 10 (age < 10); minor burns return total_ml 0 and no rate. Major: total = 4 mL x kg x TBSA; half is given over the remainder of the first 8 hours measured from the burn; rate is null once 8 hours have passed. Return {tbsa (1 dp), major, total_ml, first_rate_ml_h (1 dp)}.

Why this case matters

Burn triage depends on age-adjusted body proportions and on timing fluids from the injury rather than arrival.

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
