Question Answered step-by-step 1.In clinical settings, MAP is a closely monitored variable in… 1.In clinical settings, MAP is a closely monitored variable in critically ill patients. It is recommended thatMAP be maintained above 65 mm Hg to prevent organ damage, especially renal damage. Explain whylow MAP is dangerous, and how this may lead to organ damage? 2.Critically ill patients (i.e. individuals with heart failure, septic shock etc.) are often prescribedcatecholamine vasopressors to maintain MAP above 65 mm Hg, with norepinephrine infusion being acommon treatment. Explain all of the effects of norepinephrine on the cardiovascular system and howeach effect promotes an increase in MAP.• Be sure to note the adrenergic receptor that NE binds to for each effect and which variablein the following equation is being affected. (Remember the equation MAP = HR x SV x TPR). Biology Science Physiology MPHYSO 101 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
