Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)

Calculate mean arterial pressure from systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Systolic BP mmHgDiastolic BP mmHg

Formula: MAP = (SBP + 2 x DBP) / 3
Clinical context: Goal MAP > 65 mmHg for most ICU patients. Higher goals may be used in SCI or severe TBI.
Limitations: Goal MAP varies by diagnosis. Automated cuffs may differ from arterial line values in unstable patients.
Source note: Standard critical care formula.
