Questions and Answers

What are the two major determinants of mean arterial pressure?

  • Blood volume and oxygen saturation
  • Vascular elasticity and blood viscosity
  • Heart rate and stroke volume
  • Cardiac output and total peripheral resistance (correct)

Which formula calculates mean arterial pressure using blood pressure values?

  • MAP = Diastolic BP + (Systolic BP - Diastolic BP) / 3 (correct)
  • MAP = Diastolic BP + (Systolic BP + Diastolic BP) / 3
  • MAP = Cardiac Output × Total Peripheral Resistance
  • MAP = (Systolic BP - Diastolic BP) / 3 + Diastolic BP

What is the normal range for mean arterial pressure?

  • 60 to 80 mm Hg
  • 40 to 60 mm Hg
  • 50 to 70 mm Hg
  • 65 to 100 mm Hg (correct)

Study Notes

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)

  • Two major determinants of MAP are cardiac output and peripheral resistance
  • MAP = Cardiac Output × Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR)
  • Equation only represents the relationship between MAP and its determinants; actual MAP is calculated differently
  • Actual MAP = (Systolic BP + 2 Diastolic BP) / 3
  • Normal MAP is roughly 65-100 mmHg
  • Current guidelines recommend targeting a MAP goal of 65 mmHg for adequate organ perfusion
