Mean Arterial Blood Pressure Calculator
To calculate the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), you can use the following formula:
MAP = (2/3 x diastolic pressure) + (1/3 x systolic pressure)
Here's an example of how to use this formula:
Measure the systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) using a blood pressure cuff.
Let's say the SBP is 120 mmHg and the DBP is 80 mmHg.
Plug the values into the formula: MAP = (2/3 x 80) + (1/3 x 120) = 93.33 mmHg.
Round the answer to the nearest whole number: MAP = 93 mmHg.
So, in this example, the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) is 93 mmHg.
