lb equals 121.69 mg kg
- The patient height
= 6 feet
= ( 6 × 12 ) inch
= 72 inch
= 72 × 2.54 cm
= 182.88 cm - patient weight
= 152 lb
= 152 × 0.454 kg
= 69.0 kg -
BSA for the patient is
BSA `= \quad sqrt(( Height (cm) × Weight (Kg) )/(3600))`
` \quad \quad \quad = sqrt(( 182.88 \quad cm × 69.0 \quad Kg )/(3600)) = 1.8722 ` m2
-
For Doxorubicin :
`( 65 \quad mg)/( 1 \quad m^2 )` × 1.8722 m2 × 1 (days of treatment)
= 121.693 mg Ans.
