both legs count for 3X9 + 9 for the arm + 9/2 for the 1/2 face ( head counts 2x9, but since you have mention 1/2 of the face, I suppose the scalp is not burned).
Total estimated= 40.5%. Is it correct?
We also need his weight to calculate the fluid replacement and Maintenance. But for now, I will give him 20ml/kg/h until I can figure out the weight.
