How to Calculate Mean Arterial Pressure

#noob mistake: Turn the volume down about 15-20 seconds before the video ends because it is quite a bit louder than me talking. So sorry!

Here I walk you through an example of how to calculate a mean arterial pressure by hand.

Key Takeaways:
- A mean arterial pressure (or MAP) is a clinical measurement that quickly summarizes how well the systemic arteries are perfusing (delivering O2-rich blood to) tissues and organs.
- An acceptable MAP value would be found between 70-110mmHg
- When you are using the calculator DO NOT hit ‘=’ until the very end! To make it simple, round to the nearest ones place.
- Monitors are great, but always know how to do everything (like calculating a mean arterial pressure) manually!
