87?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 87 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 87 mmHg
DBP = mmHg

Answer key

  1. 1. PP = 37 mmHg
  2. 2. PP = 42 mmHg
  3. 3. NEWS2 = 8
  4. 4. severe
  5. 5. medium
  6. 6. DBP = 54 mmHg
