The total body surface area affected is 18%.
- This rule is also known as the Wallace Rule of Nines.
- To evaluate the TBSA involvement in burn patients, trauma and emergency medical professionals use this instrument.
- Patients with severe burns will have significant fluid losses due to the destruction of the skin barrier.
- Measuring the initial burn surface area is crucial in determining the amount of fluid that needs to be administered during resuscitation.
- This technique helps to quickly estimate the severity and IV fluid requirements for burns of the second and third degrees, commonly known as partial thickness and full thickness burns.
- Each upper extremity accounts for 9% of the upper extremities' total 18%.
