1. Calculate BSA, BMI, and LBM | 1. Use body weight and height |
2. If BMI >30 calculate body weight at BMI = 25 | 2. Use algorithm in Figure 1 |
3. Use BMI = 25 body weight to calculate lean BSA | 3. Use lean body weight |
4. Use lean BSA to estimate lean flow | 4. Calculate lean flow at CI = 2.4 |
5. Select right-sized ECC for lean flow | 5. Use algorithm in Figure 2 |
BSA (m2), BMI (kg/m2), LBM (kg), CI (L/min/m2). Lean BF is the target BF (L/min) based on the BSA at LBM.
