Question 3

What is Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)?

Answer 3

It accounts for only 1/3 of the cardiac cycle being spent in systole and 2/3 spent in diastole at rest.

Question 4

Solve this problem for Mean Arterial Pressure?
Patient’s Blood Pressure: 115/70
What is the patient’s pulse pressure?
MAP = 1/3PP + DBP
PP = (SP-DP)

Answer 4

MAP = 1/3(115-70) + 75 = 90
