Calculate Body Surface Area (BSA)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Body Surface Area (BSA) from the Mostellar Equation is:

\[ BSA = \sqrt{\frac{H \cdot W}{3600}} \]

Where:

Body Surface Area Definition

Body Surface Area (BSA) is a measure used in many medical tasks, including determining the correct dosage of medications. The Mostellar Equation is a commonly used formula to calculate BSA based on a person's height and weight.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Body Surface Area (BSA):

\[ BSA = \sqrt{\frac{170 \times 70}{3600}} \approx 1.8365 \, \text{m²} \]

The Body Surface Area (BSA) is approximately 1.8365 m².
