The Blood Volume Estimation Calculator calculates total blood volume (TBV) to guide clinical decisions in surgery, trauma, and critical care. It accounts for age, sex, weight, and height to provide accurate estimates.
Key Formulas:
1. Nadler Formula (Most Accurate):
- Males (Adults):
Males: Blood Volume (ml) = 366.9 × (Height (m))3 +32.19 × Weight (kg) + 604.1
Males: Blood Volume (ml) = 0.006012 × (Height (in))3 +32.19 × Weight (kg) + 604.1
Males: Blood Volume (ml) = 0.0003669 × (Height (cm))3+32.19 × Weight (kg) + 604.1
- Females (Adults):
Females: Blood Volume (ml)= 356.1 × (Height (m))3 +33.08 × Weight (kg) + 183.3
Females: Blood Volume (ml)=0.005835 × (Height (in))3 +33.08 × Weight (kg) + 183.3
Females: Blood Volume (ml) = 0.0003561 × (Height (cm))3 + 33.08 × Weight (kg) + 183.3
2. Weight-Based (Simplified):
Males (Adults):
Males : Blood Volume (ml) = Weight (kg) × 70
Females (Adults):
Females: Blood Volume (ml) = Weight (kg) × 65
3. For Pediatrics
Childrens : Blood Volume (ml) = Weight (kg) × 80

Normal Blood Volume Ranges
| Group | Blood Volume |
|---|---|
| Adult Males | 70–75 mL/kg |
| Adult Females | 65–70 mL/kg |
| Infants (<1 year) | 80 mL/kg |
| Children (≥1 year) | 70 mL/kg |
Clinical Significance
- Surgery/Transfusion: Determines safe blood loss and transfusion needs.
- Trauma/Shock: Guides fluid resuscitation.
- Chemotherapy: Adjusts drug dosing.
Limitations
- Estimates vary in obesity, pregnancy, or edema.
- Nadler formula requires precise height/weight.
- Pediatric values approximate; use clinical judgment.
