The Mean Arterial Pressure Calculator
The Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) Calculator is a useful tool in medical practice. It estimates the average blood pressure in a person's arteries during one cardiac cycle. MAP is essential for assessing tissue perfusion and ensuring vital organs receive adequate blood flow. It is often used in critical care, cardiology, and anesthesiology. By providing systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, this calculator quickly computes the MAP and offers a detailed solution to help users understand the calculation process.
Formula
MAP = 1/3 × SBP + 2/3 × DBP
How to Use the Calculator
To use the Mean Arterial Pressure Calculator, simply input your systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) into the respective fields. The calculator will automatically compute the MAP using the formula: MAP = 1/3 × SBP + 2/3 × DBP. The result is displayed in a vertical table format, along with a detailed explanation of the calculation and a distribution polygraph chart.
