Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) Calculation
Formula:MAP = (2 * DBP + SBP) / 3
Introduction to Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) Calculator
The mean arterial pressure (MAP) is a measure of the average pressure in a patient's arteries during one cardiac cycle. It is calculated by taking into account the systolic blood pressure (SBP) and the diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The MAP provides important information about the perfusion pressure to vital organs.
Parameter usage:
SBP
= Systolic Blood Pressure in mmHgDBP
= Diastolic Blood Pressure in mmHg
Output:
MAP
= Mean Arterial Pressure in mmHg
Data validation
The systolic and diastolic 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, a vital parameter in assessing a patient's cardiovascular health.
