Body Mass Index Calculator (BMI)
This tool calculates a person's body mass index (BMI), an indicator of body fatness
expressed in units of kg/m
2. Calculations are possible using either the US customary system or the metric system.
Interpretation of BMI in terms of a person’s weight status (from underweight to obese) is valid
only for adults, whereas for children and teens it is necessary to refer to age-adjusted
rankings.

Body Surface Area Calculator (BSA)
Estimation of a patient’s body surface area (BSA) is necessary for determining
dosages of some drugs and for setting CT scanning parameters in terms of radiation exposure. This
tool estimates BSA from height and weight according to five different equations: Mosteller; Dubois
and Dubois; Haycock; Gehan and George; and Boyd.

Cardiac Output Calculator (CO)
This tool calculates cardiac output (CO) as the volume of blood pumped by the heart
in one minute, in units of L/min, using input values of stroke volume and heart rate. It also
automatically reports cardiac index (CI), which is the cardiac output normalized to the estimated
body surface area (CI = CO/BSA).
