Quick and easy assessment of the affected Body Surface Area

What is the eBSA?

The electronic Body Surface Area (eBSA) is a tool for fast, simple, and objective calculation of the body surface area. In medicine, it is an important parameter for determining the extent of skin lesions or the dosage of medication.


With the help of eBSA, the affected body surface area can be precisely determined, and its change over time can be monitored and documented.

How to use the eBSA

After entering the body height in cm and the body weight in kg, the total body surface area is calculated using the DuBois equation:


Body surface area in m2 = 0.007184 x body height in cm 0.725 x body weight in kg 0.425

 

To determine the percentage of body surface area affected by skin lesions, the number of palms equivalent to the affected skin area must be specified.
