Nomogram for Estimating Surface Area of Infants and Young Children

Nomogram for estimating surface area of infants and young children. To determine the surface area of the patient, draw a straight line between the point representing the patient’s height on the left vertical scale to the point representing the patient’s weight on the right vertical scale. The point at which this line intersects the middle vertical scale represents the surface area in square meters.
