What is the target MAP for treating shock?

  1. 50 mmHg

  2. 60 mmHg

  3. 65 mmHg

  4. 75 mmHg

The correct answer is: 65 mmHg

In the treatment of shock, the target mean arterial pressure (MAP) typically ranges between 65 to 70 mmHg. This level of MAP ensures an adequate perfusion pressure to vital organs such as the brain, heart, and kidneys. MAP of 65 mmHg is often considered the lower end of the target range to maintain organ perfusion and prevent further complications in shock patients. Options A, B, and D fall below the optimal target range for MAP in the treatment of shock, making them incorrect choices.
