125?SBPDBPmmHgMAP = 65

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The team aims for a mean arterial pressure of at least 65 mmHg. A patient’s systolic pressure is 125 mmHg. Using MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, what is the lowest diastolic pressure DBP that still gives a MAP of 65 mmHg?

MAP 65 mmHgSBP 125 mmHg
DBP = mmHg
