Total body and regional surface area: Quantification with low‐cost three‐dimensional optical imaging systems

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2021
AbstractObjectivesBody surface area (SA) is a widely used physical measure incorporated into multiple thermophysiology and evolutionary biology models currently estimated in humans either with empirical prediction equations or costly whole‐body laser imaging systems.

Investigation into the relationship between body surface area and total body potassium using Monte Carlo and measurement

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2002
The use of body surface area (BSA) as a means of indexing chemotherapy doses is widespread even though the value of this practice is uncertain. In principle, the body cell mass (BCM) more closely represents the body's metabolic size and this is investigated here as an alternative to BSA; since 98% of body potassium is intracellular the derivation of ...

A 27-Year Follow-Up for a Patient With 100% Total Body Surface Area Burn

Journal of Burn Care & Research, 2017
Patients suffering from severe 100% TBSA burns are particularly vulnerable to infection and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, being on high risks of poor outcomes. Treatment of these patients remains to be a great challenge for burn physicians, and survivors of 100% TBSA burns generally have poor quality of life after burn.

Determinants of mortality in pediatric patients with greater than 70% full-thickness total body surface area thermal injury treated by early total excision and grafting.

Journal of Trauma, 1987
Recent advancements in burn care have improved the survival rates of victims with severe burn injuries. The total mortality rate in a series of 1,057 pediatric patients admitted to Shriners Burns Institute Galveston Unit between 1982 and 1986 was 2.7 ...

Evaluation and Optimization of the Wallace Rule of Nines for the Estimation of Total Body Surface Area in Obese and Nonobese Populations

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2023
Currently, the Wallace Rule of Nines is the most widely used method to measure total body surface area (TBSA) in burned patients due to its practicality and speed in its application; however, it often provides inaccurate estimations in obese patients, affecting the fluid resuscitation process.In this study, we aimed to modify and optimize the Rule of ...

Point-of-care 3D body-mapping for determining total body surface area of severely burned patients

2019 IEEE Healthcare Innovations and Point of Care Technologies, (HI-POCT), 2019
Total body surface area (TBSA) is a critical biometric for accurate body fluid restoration and drug dosing in medical treatments. However, current clinical equation calculations of TBSA are highly inaccurate, resulting in error up to 25%. Within burn care, this error leads to misinformed fluid resuscitation that result in increased medical ...
