A 30-year-old firefighter is admitted to the Emergency Department with extensive full-thickness burns affecting both arms circumferentially (estimated 18% TBSA) after being caught in a house fire. He is conscious and alert, but in severe pain. His airway is patent and he is breathing spontaneously. According to the Parkland formula, what is the approximate volume of crystalloid fluid (e.g., Hartmann's solution) that should be administered in the first 8 hours post-burn, assuming an estimated weight of 70kg?
