The West Nomogram is a mathematical chart used to deter- mine body surface area when the height and weight of a patient are known. The West Nomogram results in a measurement in meters squared. This calculation can be used to calculate the proper pediatric medication dosage.
Based on the nomogram shown below, a straight line joining the patients height and weight will intersect the center column at the calculated body surface area (BSA). For children of normal height and weight, the childs weight in pounds is used, and then the examiner reads across to the corresponding BSA in meters.
By adding the points associated with each predictor, the anticipated magnitude of response can be read on the response horizontal line on the bottom of the nomogram. For the calculation of a response, three variables are required in the example: Response = x * VAR1 + x * VAR2 + x * VAR3.
A nomogram consists of a set of n scales, one for each variable in an equation. Knowing the values of n-1 variables, the value of the unknown variable can be found, or by fixing the values of some variables, the relationship between the unfixed ones can be studied.
Nomograms for children and adults are shown below. The BSA of an individual can be estimated by drawing a straight line connecting the individuals height and weight. The point at which the line intersects the BSA column indicates the BSA of the individual.
