Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is the average pressure in a patient's arteries during one cardiac cycle. It is considered a vastly superior indicator of perfusion to vital organs (brain, kidneys, gut) than systolic blood pressure alone. In critical care and shock management, maintaining a MAP of ≥65 mmHg is the standard target to ensure adequate end-organ perfusion.
The standard mathematical formula assumes a normal resting heart rate where diastole constitutes two-thirds of the cardiac cycle. In severe tachycardia (>120 bpm), systole and diastole duration become nearly equal, making this formula less accurate; invasive arterial line monitoring is required to provide the true integrated MAP.
