Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) Definition and Body Requirements

Cushing’s triad (Hypertension, bradycardia and irregular respirations) is one of the classic sign for elevated intracranial pressure. Hypertension is due to maintain cerebral perfusion pressure (Cerebral perfusion pressure = Mean arterial pressure – Intracranial pressure), when ICP increases cerebral perfusion must somehow maintained above 50 mm Hg). Bradycardia is a reflex response to hypertension and […]

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)

Here’s some Sunday CVP review ⤵️ Don’t you worry - this week we’ll hit some awesome topics but only on your favorite IG page 👉🏼@rev.med Central Venous Pressure (CVP) ✅ Overview CVP is the pressure measured in the central veins close to the heart. It indicates mean right atrial pressure and is frequently used as an estimate of the right ventricular preload. CVP reflects the amount of blood returning to the heart and the ability of the heart to pump the blood into the arterial system. ✅ M...
