Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) Calculation

Introduction to Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) Calculator

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is a measure of the average pressure in the arteries during one cardiac cycle. It is widely used in clinical practice and can serve as an indicator of tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery. The formula for calculating MAP is determined by the values of the systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), measured in mmHg (millimeters of mercury).

Parameter usage:

• SBP = systolic blood pressure in mmHg
• DBP = diastolic blood pressure in mmHg

Output:

• MAP = mean arterial pressure in mmHg

Data validation

The blood pressure values should be greater than zero.

Summary

This calculator takes into account the systolic and diastolic blood pressure values and outputs the mean arterial pressure, an important clinical indicator.
