lb equals 197.33 mg kg
- The patient height
= 5 feet 2 inches
= ( 5 × 12 + 2 ) inch
= 62 inch
= 62 × 2.54 cm
= 157.48 cm - patient weight
= 242 lb
= 242 × 0.454 kg
= 109.9 kg -
BSA for the patient is
BSA `= \quad sqrt(( Height (cm) × Weight (Kg) )/(3600))`
` \quad \quad \quad = sqrt(( 157.48 \quad cm × 109.9 \quad Kg )/(3600)) = 2.1926 ` m2
-
For Methotrexate :
`( 30 \quad mg)/( 1 \quad m^2 )` × 2.1926 m2 × 3 (days of treatment) = 197.334 mg
`\quad \quad \quad` 197.33 mg `Ans.`
