The Lund & Browder Chart

The Lund & Browder Chart is a medical tool used to assess burn injuries. It provides a detailed diagram of the body, showing the percentage of surface area affected by burns, which varies by age and body part. Unlike simpler charts, it gives a more precise estimate of burn severity, helping healthcare providers plan treatment. This chart is especially useful for children, as their body proportions differ from adults, ensuring accurate assessment and better-informed medical decisions for burn care.
