To calculate BSA for pediatrics (children), you can use the same formulas as usual. For example, a popular option is Mosteller's formula. To use it:
Measure the child's weight (in kilograms – kg).
Check the child's height or length (in centimeters – cm).
Multiply the weight and height.
Divide the result by 3600.
Find the square root of that number.
And you're done! You can always double-check with our BSA calculator.
