How to Use Curreri Formula?

Daily caloric requirements in patients with major burns are frequently estimated using the Curreri formula (25 X body weight (kg) + 40 X % BSA burned). In nonburned patients modifications of the Harris-Benedict formulas have been used to estimate energy requirements.

What is Curreri?

The Curreri formula is the calculation of energy requirements in the specific setting of a burn injury (usually severe injury, with highly catabolic state, high energy consumption, and hugh requirements to run the anabolic process of tissu reconstruction).

How do you use Toronto formula?

Interventions: Patients were fed according to a previously validated equation which takes into account the Harris-Benedict equation, % burn surface area, caloric intake, body temperature, and the number of postburn days: Toronto Formula = -4343 + (10.5 x % burn surface area) + (0.23 x caloric intake) + (0.84 x Harris- ...
