The "Safdarjung Method" of Estimation of Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) Burns in Major Amputees. [PDF]
AbstractAccurate estimation of total body surface area (TBSA) burns is the cornerstone of initiating correct fluid therapy in burns. The current formulae are designed for patients with intact body. However, the authors having worked at a high-volume burns center (Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi, India) have encountered patients with major amputations ...

The Impact of Burns Involving Over 50% of Total Body Surface Area - a Six-Year Retrospective Study. [PDF]
Severe burns pose significant therapeutic challenges due to their complex pathophysiology, the potential for life-threatening complications, long-term sequelae and the need for a multidisciplinary approach. In this retrospective study, we aimed to comprehensively analyze burns involving over 50% of the total body surface area (TBSA) treated in our ...

Abstract: Aim: This study examined whether anthropometric and body composition parameters such as body surface area (BSA), lean body mass (LBM), and total body weight (TBW) are correlated with docetaxel clearance and exposure by analyzing area under the curve. In addition, LBM, TBW, and a fixed dose were compared with

Body surface area and body weight predict total liver volume in Western adults [PDF]
Computed tomography (CT) is used increasingly to measure liver volume in patients undergoing evaluation for transplantation or resection. This study is designed to determine a formula predicting total liver volume (TLV) based on body surface area (BSA) or body weight in Western adults.

Safety of enzymatic debridement in extensive burns larger than 15% total body surface area [PDF]
Bromelain-based enzymatic debridement has emerged as an alternative to surgical eschar removal. Indications include partial thickness, mixed pattern, and full-thickness burns. Enzymatic debridement has been approved by the European Medicines Agency for treating burn wounds affecting 15% TBSA in one session is scarce. The aim of this retrospective study

Relationship between total body water and surface area in normal and obese subjects [PDF]
Total body water was measured using tritium in 30 males and 30 females. It was found that total body water could be predicted from height and weight, and formulae for both males and females have been produced with multiple correlation coefficients (r) of 0·95 and 0·96 respectively.

Is a practical computer application for computing total body surface area burn practical?
Abstract Introduction Current methods of burn estimation can lead to incorrect estimates of the total body surface area burned, especially among injured children. Inaccurate estimation of burn size can impact initial management, including unnecessary transfer to burn centers and fluid overload during ...
