Determining the approximate area of a burn: an inconsistency investigated and re-evaluated

Abstract
Twenty adults from the medical school and 10 children from the hospital took part in this project. Their heights (cm) and weights (kg) were recorded on calibrated equipment and their total body surface area was calculated by the method of Gehan and George.3 The projections of each subject's palm and whole hand were delineated using their non-dominant hand. The area of each projection was determined using the DispImage computer program.4
