The percent of the body surface area burned to the front torso is 36% and front of the right arm is 4.5%.The total body surface area involved in burn is 40.5% calculated by Rule of Nines.
The total body surface area (TBSA) is an easy way to get a rough burn size estimate that can be used when calculating a patient's fluid resuscitation needs.
The Rule of Nines or Wallace Rule of Nines, is a common tool used by healthcare professionals to assess the total body surface area involved in burn patients.
The Rule of Nines is estimated by assigning percentages to different body areas. For instance, the entire head is estimated as 9%, the entire trunk is estimated at 36% and each arm is estimated at 9%.
The total body surface area (TBSA) of a burn can also be calculated with a Lund and Browder Chart.
