- Title
Invasive arterial pressure monitoring: much more than mean arterial pressure!
- Authors
Hernandez, Glenn; Messina, Antonio; Kattan, Eduardo
- Abstract
Invasive arterial pressure monitoring is a standard practice in critically ill patients [[1]] since it allows accurate and beat to beat assessment of mean arterial pressure (MAP), and also delivers valuable information about cardiac function, heart-lung interactions, the arterial system and valvular diseases [[2]]. Pulse pressure Pulse pressure (PP) provides a readily accessible monitoring window into the function of the heart and its interaction with the vascular system. Mean arterial pressure MAP is the pressure which exerts the greatest influence on blood flow autoregulation within organs, and on whole-body haemodynamic homeostatic mechanisms (such as the baroreceptors).
