To calculate the Wound Surface Area (\(WSA\)):
\[ WSA = GL \times GW \]
Where:
The wound surface area is the total area covered by a wound. It is calculated by multiplying the greatest length of the wound by the greatest width perpendicular to that length. This measurement is important for assessing the size and healing progress of the wound.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ WSA = 5 \times 3 = 15 \text{ square cm} \]
The Wound Surface Area is 15 square cm.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ WSA = 10 \times 4 = 40 \text{ square cm} \]
The Wound Surface Area is 40 square cm.
