Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)

Calculates the average arterial pressure during one cardiac cycle. Used for organ perfusion assessment.

Clinical Notes & Warnings

  • Minimum target MAP in sepsis is 65 mmHg (Surviving Sepsis Campaign).
  • Chronically hypertensive patients may need higher MAP (70-80 mmHg).
  • MAP does not reflect all organ perfusion equally.
  • Stroke patients often have individualized blood pressure targets.

MAP approximates the average pressure in the arteries during one cardiac cycle. Normal range is 70-100 mmHg.
