Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)
Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)
The average pressure in the arteries during a single cardiac cycle. It reflects the overall perfusion of the body's organs.
Normal MAP Range
Normal MAP Range
The typical range of MAP considered healthy is 70-105 mmHg.
Inadequate Organ Perfusion
Inadequate Organ Perfusion
When the MAP drops below 60 mmHg, it indicates insufficient blood flow to the body's organs.

Study Notes
Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)
- MAP is calculated as (2 x Diastolic Blood Pressure + Systolic Blood Pressure) / 3
- Normal range is 70-105 mmHg
- Less than 60 mmHg indicates inadequate organ perfusion.
Cardiac Index (CI)
- CI is a measure of cardiac output relative to the size of the patient.
- CI = Cardiac Output (QT) / Body Surface Area (BSA)
- Normal range is 2.5-4.0 L/min/m².
- A CI below 2.5 L/min/m² suggests inadequate cardiac output.
Cardiac Output (QT)
- QT is the amount of blood pumped out of the left ventricle per minute.
- QT = Stroke Volume (SV) x Heart Rate (HR)
- Normal QT range is 4-8 L/min at rest.
Systolic vs. Diastolic
- Systole is the top number of blood pressure (e.g., 120 mmHg).
- Diastole is the bottom number of blood pressure (e.g., 80 mmHg).
- Normal systolic range is 90-120 mmHg.
- Normal diastolic range is 60-90 mmHg.
Venous System
- The venous system acts as a reservoir for blood, holding approximately 60% of the total blood volume.
- Venous return (VR) should equal cardiac output (QT).
Ejection Fraction (EF)
- EF is the percentage of blood ejected from the left ventricle with each contraction.
- Normal EF is 65-70%.
- EF below 50% indicates a reduced ability of the heart to pump blood.
Preload, Afterload, Contractility
- Preload is the ventricular stretch before contraction.
- Afterload is the resistance to ventricular emptying.
- Contractility is the strength of ventricular contraction.
Positive vs. Negative Inotropism
- Positive inotropism increases the force of myocardial contraction.
- Negative inotropism decreases the force of myocardial contraction.
Pulse Pressure
- Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
- Normal range is 30-40 mmHg.
- A low pulse pressure can indicate low stroke volume.
Central Venous Pressure (CVP)
- CVP is the pressure in the right atrium.
- Normal range is 2-6 mmHg.
Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV)
- PPV Augments Preload and QT
- Hazards of PEEP include decreased venous return, decreased blood pressure, and increased intracranial pressure.
Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure (PAWP)
- PAWP measures pressure in the left atrium.
- Normal range is 5-10 mmHg.
Cardiac Work
- Cardiac work is a measurement of the energy spent ejecting blood from the ventricles against pressures in the aorta and pulmonary arteries.
- A measure of oxygen needed by the heart.
Layers of the heart
- Epicardium (outer layer)
- Myocardium (middle layer)
- Endocardium (inner layer)
