What is Calculation of Drug Dosage and Body Surface Area of Children about?

The document discusses methods for calculating drug dosages for children based on factors like age, weight, and body surface area (BSA). It reviews common rules that use these factors and their limitations. The document recommends a new rule where doses under 30kg are (weight^2)% of adult dose, and over 30kg are (weight-30)% of adult dose, which better follows the BSA curve and may reduce prescription errors.
