MAP can be calculated using a variety of methods, but a common formula used in clinical practice is: \[ \text{MAP} = \frac{(P_{\text{IP}} \times T_{\text{I}}) + (P_{\text{EEP}} \times T_{\text{E}})}{T_{\text{I}} + T_{\text{E}}} \]
Where: - \(P_{\text{IP}}\) = Peak Inspiratory Pressure - \(T_{\text{I}}\) = Inspiratory Time - \(P_{\text{EEP}}\) = End-Expiratory Pressure (often synonymous with PEEP, Positive End-Expiratory Pressure) - \(T_{\text{E}}\) = Expiratory Time
