That is a great observation. I have always been cautious about non-invasive readings automatically calculating MAP.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you do not recognize the sender. ________________________________ As I review sepsis cases in patients with non-invasive pressure monitoring; I am finding that quite often the MAP does not correlate with the standard formula (S=2D/3); and I understand that non-invasive monitoring relies on pulse amplitude to calculate mean. Should we really be utilizing MAP with non-invasive pressure devices? To say we should re-check it manually can hardly be practical when many areas of the hospital use non-invasive devices for BP monitoring.
