91?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 91 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 91 mmHg
DBP = mmHg

Answer key

  1. 1. MAP = 66 mmHg
  2. 2. MAP = 95 mmHg
  3. 3. NEWS2 = 10
  4. 4. NEWS2 = 8
  5. 5. low–medium
  6. 6. DBP = 52 mmHg
