I agree, Wallace's rule (commonly known as the rule of nines) is a measurement tool used in pre-hospital care medications. The intent of the measurement is to quantize the total body surface area affected by a burn. Burns can still be classified according to their extent. To calculate the Burned Body Surface (SCQ), the Rule of Nine is used and the result of the sum is presented in percentage (% of SCQ).the ICD 10 - T29 is for burns and corrosions of multiple body regions.
<h3>Where does the rule of nines come from?</h3>
In addition to determining burn severity, the measurement of burn surface area is important for estimating patients' fluid requirements and determining hospital admission criteria. The rule of nines was devised by Pulaski and Tennison in 1947, and published by Alexander Burns Wallace in 1951.
