Appendix B Lund and Browder Burn Wound Calculation Worksheet
Burn Estimate and Diagram (Age vs. Area)

Appendix C Rule of Nines Burn Wound Calculation
Use this image to calculate the percent of total body surface area (%TBSA)
involved by second and third degree burn wounds (do NOT include first
degree wounds in this assessment). Example: Second and third degree
wounds involving the entire anterior torso and right upper extremity,
front and back, would be cover 27% TBSA. If this wound had scattered
areas of unburned skin and/or first degree burns, adjust the %TBSA
downward. %TBSA is an estimate. Both over- and underestimates have
potential negative impacts on a patient’s resuscitation.
