lb equals 190.72 mg kg
- The patient height
= 5 feet 10 inches
= ( 5 × 12 + 10 ) inch
= 70 inch
= 70 × 2.54 cm
= 177.8 cm - patient weight
= 331 lb
= 331 × 0.454 kg
= 150.3 kg -
BSA for the patient is
BSA `= \quad sqrt(( Height (cm) × Weight (Kg) )/(3600))`
` \quad \quad \quad = sqrt(( 177.8 \quad cm × 150.3 \quad Kg )/(3600)) = 2.7245 ` m2
-
For Doxorubicin :
`( 70 \quad mg)/( 1 \quad m^2 )` × 2.7245 m2 × 1 (days of treatment)
= 190.715 mg Ans.
