Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) Calculator

Compute MAP from systolic and diastolic blood pressure: MAP ≈ (SBP + 2×DBP) / 3.

Inputs

Systolic BP (mmHg)

Diastolic BP (mmHg)

—

Enter SBP/DBP to calculate MAP.

Interpretation (general)

Targets depend on clinical context. In many shock/ICU protocols, a common initial goal is MAP ≥ 65 mmHg, but individualized targets may be appropriate (e.g., chronic hypertension).

Low/critical: MAP < 60 mmHg may compromise organ perfusion in some patients.
Typical: ~70–100 mmHg in many adults at rest.
High: sustained MAP > 110 mmHg may be concerning depending on scenario.
