The volume and rate of Hartmann's solution depend on what the patient needs and on the physician's judgement. They usually vary with the patient's age, weight and clinical condition. The recommended flow rate is up to 100 drops/minute/70 kg body weight.
For burn patients, the dose of Hartmann's solution follows the Parkland formula: 4 ml/kg body weight % of Body surface area (BSA) burn. For example, a person weighing 60 kg with a 30% BSA burn would need 4 x 60 x 30 ml = 7200 ml of Hartmann's solution in 24 hours. Half of this is given within 8 hr, and the remainder over 16 hr.

Hartmann's Solution can make the hands, ankles and feet mildly swollen because of fluid retention. Rarely, the lungs are affected too, and this may cause difficulty in breathing. Other possible symptoms are nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, drowsiness and confusion. The veins around the site of the injection may also become inflamed or swollen.
