A normal mean arterial pressure (MAP) typically falls between 70 and 100 mm Hg. Therefore, an average MAP would be in this range.
To calculate a more precise average, we can take the midpoint of the normal range:
(70 mm Hg + 100 mm Hg) / 2 = 85 mm Hg
Therefore, the average mean arterial pressure is approximately 85 mm Hg. This value indicates adequate blood flow to vital organs. Doctors generally aim to keep a patient's MAP above 60 mm Hg to ensure sufficient perfusion of the heart, brain, and kidneys.
