3. Calculation Limitations

3.1 Estimates Only

All MAP calculations provided by our calculators are based on standard medical formulas. Actual physiological values may vary significantly from calculated results due to factors including but not limited to:

• Patient-specific physiological variations
• Measurement timing and patient position
• Equipment calibration and measurement techniques
• Medication effects and hemodynamic status
• Underlying medical conditions
• Age-related physiological differences

3.2 Clinical Context

MAP calculations should always be interpreted in the full clinical context of the patient. Factors that may affect the clinical significance of MAP include:

• Chronic hypertension and autoregulation shifts
• Patient's baseline blood pressure
• Concurrent medications and therapies
• Acute physiological changes
• Organ-specific perfusion requirements

Target MAP values should be individualized based on patient-specific factors and clinical judgment.

3.3 Unit Conversions

While our calculators provide unit conversions between different measurement systems, minor rounding differences may occur. For critical measurements, always use a consistent measurement system and verify calculations independently.

4. Patient-Specific Considerations

Every patient has unique physiological characteristics that cannot be fully captured by a general calculator. Important considerations that our calculators may not address include:

• Patient Age: Pediatric and geriatric patients have different normal MAP ranges
