Determine the mbp for a person with a bp of 130/80 and a second person with a bp of 120/90

For 1st person = 97 mm. Hg (rounded 16.6 to 17)

For 2nd person = 100 mm. Hg.

Explanation:

The computation of mbp is shown below:-

For the 1st person

Systolic Blood Pressure = 130mm. Hg

Diastolic Blood Pressure = 80 mm. of Hg.

Pulse Pressure of the person is Systolic Blood Pressure - Diastolic Blood Pressure

= 130 - 80

= 50 mm. Hg.

Mbp of the person = DBP + PP ÷ 3

= 80 + 50 ÷ 3

= 80 + 16.6

= 97 mm. Hg (rounded 16.6 to 17)

For 2nd person

SBP = 120 mm. Hg and DBP = 90 mm. Hg.

Pulse pressure = Systolic Blood Pressure - Diastolic Blood Pressure

= 120 - 90

= 30 mm. Hg.

So, MBP of the person = 90 + 30 ÷ 3

= 90 + 10

= 100 mm. Hg.
