Calculation Formula

Weight Body Surface Area
Under 30kg Weight × 0.035 + 0.1
35kg 1.2m2
40kg 1.3m2
45kg 1.4m2
50kg 1.5m2
60kg 1.6m2
70kg 1.7m2

Instructions

1. For children under 30kg: Body Surface Area (m2) = Weight × 0.035 + 0.1

2. For children weighing between 30-50kg, the body surface area is estimated; for every 5kg increase in weight, the body surface area increases by 0.1m2. For example, 35kg = 1.1 + 0.1 = 1.2m2, 40kg = 1.1 + 0.2 = 1.3m2, 50kg = 1.1 + 0.4 = 1.5m2.

3. For a weight of 60kg, the body surface area is 1.6m2, and for 70kg, it is 1.7m2.
