About Mean Arterial Pressure
Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is the mean pressure within a patient's arteries throughout a single cardiac cycle. It serves as a superior indicator of perfusion to crucial organs when compared to systolic blood pressure (SBP). The precise determination of MAP requires invasive monitoring and intricate computations, although an alternative approach involves calculating it using a formula incorporating the SBP and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).
This snippet is based on this version from MDCalc created by Dr. Sheldon Magder.
