Fried's Rule, also known as Fried's Rule of Nines, is a method used to estimate the total body surface area (TBSA) affected by burns in adults. According to this rule, the body is divided into various regions, each representing a certain percentage of the TBSA.
The percentages assigned to the different body regions in Fried's Rule are as follows:
- Head and neck: 9%
- Each upper limb: 9% (totaling 18% for both arms)
- Front of torso: 18%
- Back of torso: 18%
- Each lower limb: 18% (totaling 36% for both legs)
- Genitalia: 1%
To calculate the percentage of burns on a patient using Fried's Rule, you assign the appropriate percentage to each affected body region and sum them up.
To obtain a burn area of 150 square centimeters (cm²), you cannot directly use Fried's Rule. Fried's Rule is used to estimate TBSA with percentages, not a specific measurement like cm². In this case, you may need to rely on medical assessment and measurements taken by healthcare professionals to determine the extent of burns accurately.
Remember, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate assessment and treatment of burns.
