Wiki Body burn %

[valeria.carvallo]

Yea I just noticed that my CPT book has a Lund-Browder Diagram and Classification Method Table for Burn Estimations and the percentages shown are different from the Rule of Nines Diagram that is shown in the Official CPC Certification Study Guide. And both books are current. Feedback?? Thanks

I'm using the CPT Standard 2014 Edition. I'm not sure I'm seeing a Lund-Browder Diagram in mine.

Having said that, Rule of Nines is actually different from the Lund-Browder Diagram. I referred to this link:

Hope it helps.

Isn't the Lund-Browder diagram for Children and newborn(babies)? Rule of 9 is for adults only.
