West Nomogram-Body Surface Area
APPENDIX M • West Nomogram-Body Surface Area 1477
Pediatric doses of medications are generally based on body surface area (BSA) orweight. To calculate a child’s BSA, draw a straight line from the height (in the left-hand column) to the weight (in the right-hand column). The point at which the lineintersects the surface area (SA) column is the BSA (measured in square meters[m2]). If the child is of roughly normal proportion, BSA can be calculated from theweight alone (in the enclosed area).
