Published 06/06/2024

Suggested data to collect

  • Percentage of patients admitted to ICU with sepsis with a MAP 65 mmHg or above within two hours of admission.
  • Percentage of septic patients on inotropes who have achieved the target MAP 65 mmHg or above and 75 mmHg or above on twice-daily ICU reviews for each day of their stay on ICU.
  • Percentage of patients with a documented target MAP on twice-daily ICU reviews for each day of their stay on ICU.
  • Percentage of patients with traumatic brain injury who achieve a cerebral perfusion pressure of 60-70 mmHg. There should be a documented target MAP in the twice- daily review to achieve this cerebral perfusion pressure.
