	Mean arterial pressure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The mean arterial pressure (MAP) is a term used in medicine to describe a notional average blood pressure in an individual.
		It is defined as the average arterial pressure during a single cardiac cycle.
		MAP is considered to be the perfusion pressure seen by organs in the body.

	blood pressure
		Because the receptor is sensitive to mean pressure and the rate of change in pressure, reflex responses are dependent upon mean arterial pressure, pulse pressure and heart rate (19, 40, 83, 133).
		The increase in systolic blood pressure associated with aging is probably secondary to the age?associated changes in arterial stiffening because the rise in blood pressure varies directly with vascular stiffness in different populations (6).
		Systolic pressure was 19% higher and diastolic pressure was 14% lower in the elderly than in the younger patients which may indicate a higher prevalence of isolated systolic hypertension in the older adult (99).

		5-b is a plot of the amplitude of the dynamic component of the distal cuff pressure versus the magnitude of the static component of the distal cuff pressure.
		Pressure sensor 11a is mounted in the distal manifold 9a and a second pressure sensor 11b is mounted in the proximal manifold 9b.
		As the deflection of the arterial walls 4 occurs, the pulse is transmitted by the distal cuff 6a to the pressure sensor 11a.

		The pressure measuring device may be a pressure transducer connected to an amplifier-recorder system which allows the recording of phasic changes in arterial pressure with each cardiac cycle, or it may be a mercury manometer which gives only the mean arterial pressure due to damping by the mercury.
		The mean arterial pressure decreases progressively from the aorta toward the peripheral branches, reflecting the energy dissipation in flow.
		Therefore, upon assumption of the erect position, the mean arterial pressure on the foot may rise from 90 to 190 mmHg and the venous pressure from vessel 10 to 110 mmHg.

	Automatic mean blood pressure reading device - Patent 4360029
		Mean pressure depends on the amplitude and contour of the arterial pressure wave.
		In this publication the cuff pressure was recorded on the physiograph and the oscillations in cuff pressure were amplified and displayed by a rapid responding meter on an electronic oscillometer with the amplified oscillations being recorded on the physiograph along with the direct arterial pressures.
		Measurement of mean arterial pressure by means of incremental deflation, conditioned upon successfully passing a plurality of oscillation integrity tests, forms a novel aspect of this invention and a desirable structure to satisfactorily operate reliably without human intervention.

	Blood pressure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of the blood vessels.
		The systolic pressure is defined as the peak pressure in the arteries during the cardiac cycle; the diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure (at the resting phase of the cardiac cycle).
		Venous pressure is the blood pressure in a vein or in the atria of the heart.

	Mean arterial pressure
		Mean arterial pressure is defined as the average pressure in the arteries over a certain time interval.
		Mean arterial pressure can be approximated by adding the diastolic pressure to one-third the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures.
		The mean arterial pressure is dependent upon the peripheral resistance and the cardiac output of the heart.

	Mean Arterial Pressure - MCC Paramedic Program
		Mean Arterial Pressure is a value that is frequently used by Physicians and Paramedics to assess a patient's hemodynamic status.
		In addition to this, the MAP is a number used in other important formulas such as the Cerebral Perfusion Pressure (CPP) formula.
		MAP should not be a foreign concept to EMTs as most of todays hospital and ambulances use automated blood pressure devices that display the MAP in addition to the pulse, systolic and diastolic pressures.

		Mean arterial pressure was calculated from the recorded blood pressure.
		The control values (mean±SE, n=4) of the mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and tidal volume in the anesthetized rats were 110±4 mmHg, 338±11 per minute, 37.0±3.3 per minute and 0.66±0.03 ml/min respectively.
		Oral administration of 2.0 LD of DRDE-07 induced a sudden decrease in the mean arterial blood pressure and the animals died within 60 min [Table - 2].
