Wound Surface Area Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Wound Surface Area.
WSA = GL * GW
- Where WSA is the Wound Surface Area
- GL is the greatest length
- GW is the perpendicular greatest width
How to Calculate Wound Surface Area?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Wound Surface Area.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the greatest length.
- The greatest length is given as: 3.
- Next, determine the perpendicular greatest width.
- The perpendicular greatest width is provided as: 5.
- Finally, calculate the Wound Surface Area using the equation above:
WSA = GL * GW
The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.
WSA = 3 * 5 = 15.00
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
greatest length = 4
perpendicular greatest width = 2
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..
WSA = GL * GW = ?
