81%\text{81\%}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the burn locations and apply the Rule of Nines for adults.

    The patient has full-thickness burns to the face, neck, anterior torso, bilateral arms, and bilateral legs. The Rule of Nines assigns percentage values to different body parts:

    • Head and Neck: 9%9\%
    • Each Arm: 9%9\%
    • Anterior Torso: 18%18\%
    • Each Leg: 18%18\%
  2. Calculate the percentage for each burned area.

    • Face and Neck: 9%9\%
    • Anterior Torso: 18%18\%
    • Bilateral Arms: 9% (left arm)+9% (right arm)=18%9\% \text{ (left arm)} + 9\% \text{ (right arm)} = 18\%
    • Bilateral Legs: 18% (left leg)+18% (right leg)=36%18\% \text{ (left leg)} + 18\% \text{ (right leg)} = 36\%
  3. Sum the percentages to find the Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) burned.

    TBSA=9%+18%+18%+36%\text{TBSA} = 9\% + 18\% + 18\% + 36\% TBSA=81%\text{TBSA} = 81\%

    The estimated Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) burned for this patient is \boxed{\text{81%}}.
