Explanation
In burns, half the total fluids required within 24 hours should be given within 8 hours and the other half distributed over the remaining 16 hours to prevent hypovolemic shock and electrolyte imbalance.
Therefore, half the fluid that should be given within 8 hours is 5200/2= 2600
We will use the formula: drip rate= total volume of fluid to be administered/total duration
= 2600/8
=325 mL/hr
