Mean arterial pressure (MAP)
Estimates mean arterial pressure from a cuff reading as (SBP + 2 × DBP) / 3, with an optional heart-rate-corrected estimate because the standard formula underestimates MAP at faster heart rates..
Pogosh offers this calculator when a case matches septic shock, cardiogenic shock. It runs only when you press Calculate.

Implementation notes
The corrected formula was derived from central-aortic pressures and validated at paced heart rates in 12 patients, so it is shown for information only.
