What is the Rule of Nines?

The Rule of Nines is a clinical tool used by medical professionals to estimate the Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) affected by a burn. It divides the body into sections of 9% (or multiples of 9) to allow for quick assessment in emergency situations.

How does the Rule of Nines differ for children?

In infants and young children, the head occupies a larger percentage of TBSA (18%) while the legs occupy less (14% each). This calculator automatically adjusts the percentages when the 'Pediatric' mode is selected.

Why is TBSA calculation important?

Calculating TBSA is critical for determining the severity of a burn and guiding fluid resuscitation needs (using formulas like the Parkland Formula) and deciding if a patient needs a specialized burn center.

Dica Clínica

Ao usar a regra dos nove, lembre-se de que as queimaduras de 1º grau (como simples queimaduras solares) geralmente não são incluídas nos cálculos de ressuscitação volêmica. Concentre-se nas áreas de 2º e 3º graus.
