Body Surface Area Calculator – Medical BSA Calculation

Body Surface Area (BSA) is a measure of the total surface area of a person's body. The Body Surface Area Calculator by ToolsGen helps you calculate BSA using height and weight, which is commonly used in medical settings for dosing medications.

BSA is used by healthcare professionals for calculating appropriate medication dosages, metabolic rates, and assessing nutritional status.

How is BSA Calculated?

BSA is calculated using formulas that consider height and weight. The most common formula is the Mosteller formula:

BSA (m²) = √[(Height (cm) × Weight (kg)) / 3600]

Other formulas include DuBois, Haycock, and Gehan-George formulas.

Average BSA Values

  • Adult male: 1.9 m²
  • Adult female: 1.6 m²
  • Child (10 years): 1.14 m²
  • Child (5 years): 0.75 m²
  • Infant: 0.25 m²

Medical Uses of BSA

BSA is used in clinical practice for:

  • Chemotherapy dosing
  • Medication dosage calculations
  • Kidney function assessment (creatinine clearance)
  • Burn injury assessment
  • Nutritional status evaluation

Who Should Use This Calculator?

This tool is helpful for:

  • Healthcare professionals
  • Medical students
  • Pharmacists
  • Patients researching their health metrics
