Rule of 9: Burn

Wallace Rule of Nine
For rough estimation of the body surface area that is affected by Burn, Wallace rule of nine is used. It  is used for adult. Slight modification is done in case of children as they have larger head compared to adults and hence Lund and Browder chart is used. The skin is grossly allocated the value of 9% as demostrated in the chart and diagram below.

  2. Fantastic blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Many thanks! cannabis operating procedures
