For clinical situations that require adjustment based on MAP rather than systolic blood pressure, as well as for patients with acute conditions where there is a concern for appropriate organ perfusion.

Calculates MAP using a formula of the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure.

Do not use other formulas for calculating MAP.
