MAP Flashcards
1
Q
what is MAP?
A
mean arterial pressure
the approximation of the avg BP in the aorta
2
Q
what is the equation for MAP?
A
MAP = CO x PR
where CO is cardiac output
PR is peripheral resistance
3
Q
what is the equation for CO?
A
cardiac output = SV x HR
where SV is stroke volume
4
Q
what is the strove volume?
A
the blood pumped during each heart beat
5
Q
what is the cardiac output?
A
the amount of blood pumped by the blood per minute
6
Q
what is peripheral resistatnce?
A
total resistance against which blood must be pumped
