Estimates of Gibson and Evans for Blood Volume in an Adult Based on Body Surface Area (BSA)

Description

Gibson and Evans evaluated the blood volume of normal adults based on body surface area (BSA) and height. The authors are from Peter Bent Brigham Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

Parameters:

(1) gender

(2) body surface area (from 1.2 to 2.2 square meter)

Body Surface Area	Male	Female
1.2		2425 mL
1.3	2650 mL	3100 mL
1.4	3440 mL	3550 mL
1.5	4050 mL	3900 mL
1.6	4580 mL	4090 mL
1.7	4950 mL	4180 mL
1.8	5350 mL	4200 mL
1.9	5700 mL
2.0	6050 mL
2.1	6400 mL
2.2	6750 mL

If this data is approximated in Minitab:

blood volume for a male in mL =

= (4126 * ((BSA)^3)) - (23956 * ((BSA)^2)) + (49662 * (BSA)) - 30473

blood volume for a female in mL =

= (4306 * ((BSA)^3)) - (25798 * ((BSA)^2)) + (50895 * (BSA)) - 28937
