MAP =

For determining mean airway pressure in patients on conventional ventilator support. Answer is the average pressure over one inspiration/expiration cycle.

- PIP: peak inspiratory pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg)

- PEEP: positive end expiratory pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg)

- I time: inspiratory time in seconds

- Vent breaths/minute: ventilator breaths per minute

- MAP: mean airway pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg)

Your patient has the following conventional ventilator settings: PIP of 28 mmHg, PEEP of 8 mmHg, I time of 0.3 seconds, and Vent breaths/minute rate of 40. What is his mean airway pressure (MAP)? Input the following:

- PIP: 28 mmHg

- PEEP: 8 mmHg

- I time: 0.3 seconds

- Vent breaths/minute: 40

The calculator solves for MAP in mmHg giving an answer of 12.
