Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) Calculator
Calculate mean arterial pressure from systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Education/reference only.
What Is the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) Calculator?
The Mean Arterial Pressure Calculator estimates MAP from a systolic and diastolic blood pressure reading using the standard MAP = (SBP + 2×DBP) ÷ 3 formula. This is a reference and education tool only and must not be used for real-world clinical decisions — always confirm with a licensed clinician, the drug label and your institution's approved protocols.
How It Works
Enter systolic and diastolic values; the estimated MAP appears instantly.
When to Use It
As a quick reference for the MAP formula. Not for clinical decisions — perfusion targets must be set and interpreted clinically.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How is MAP calculated?
- MAP ≈ (systolic + 2 × diastolic) ÷ 3, because roughly two-thirds of the cardiac cycle is spent in diastole.
- Can I use this for patient care?
- No — it's an educational reference only. Confirm readings and targets with clinical judgment and monitoring.
