Calculation Formula

Möller's Formula: BSA (m²) = 0.20247 × height (cm) ^ 0.725 × weight (kg) ^ 0.425

Where:
BSA = Body Surface Area
height = Height in centimeters
weight = Weight in kilograms

Learn how to use the Adult Body Surface Area Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the patient's height in centimeters (cm) in the "Height" field.
  2. Enter the patient's weight in kilograms (kg) in the "Weight" field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the Body Surface Area (BSA).
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Body Surface Area (m²)" field.

Principle and Formula

The calculator uses the Möller's formula to estimate the Body Surface Area (BSA). This formula is commonly used in clinical settings for medication dosage calculations and other therapeutic applications.

The formula is as follows:

BSA (m²) = 0.20247 × height (cm) ^ 0.725 × weight (kg) ^ 0.425

Where:

  • BSA = Body Surface Area
  • height = Height in centimeters
  • weight = Weight in kilograms

Applications

The Body Surface Area (BSA) is an important parameter in clinical medicine. It is used to determine appropriate medication dosages, especially for drugs that are dosed per square meter of body surface area. Accurate BSA estimation ensures safe and effective patient care.
