Question 1

What is a Mean Arterial Pressure?

Accepted Answer

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is the average arterial pressure throughout one cardiac cycle. It represents the true perfusion pressure driving blood to vital organs.

Question 2

How does the Mean Arterial Pressure work?

Accepted Answer

MAP = (SBP + 2×DBP) / 3 Then: Alternative: MAP = DBP + (SBP − DBP)/3 Then: Normal MAP: 70–100 mmHg Then: MAP < 60 mmHg: inadequate organ perfusion (emergency).

Question 3

Can you give an example of how to use the Mean Arterial Pressure?

Accepted Answer

Example: Input SBP 120 mmHg, DBP 80 mmHg gives a result of MAP = (120 + 2×80) / 3 = 280/3 = 93.3 mmHg (Normal).
