A MAP of 60 mmHg or above is generally considered the minimum for adequate organ perfusion.
Mean arterial pressure represents the average pressure in the arteries throughout a cardiac cycle, weighted towards diastole. It is used in intensive care and anaesthesia as a more reliable indicator of organ perfusion than systolic pressure alone. A MAP of at least 60 mmHg is the widely cited threshold for maintaining adequate blood flow to vital organs.
