What is the recommended mean arterial pressure (MAP) goal for donor management?

The mean arterial pressure (MAP) goal for donor management is typically set between 60-110 mmHg. This range is crucial as maintaining adequate perfusion pressure is vital for organ viability and function before donation. A MAP within this range helps ensure that organs remain well-perfused with oxygen-rich blood, enhancing the chances of successful transplantation and reducing the risk of organ dysfunction.

Setting a MAP too low can lead to hypoperfusion, risking the health of the organs, while a MAP that is excessively high could cause additional stress and potential damage to the vascular system. Thus, the target range of 60-110 mmHg strikes a balance, promoting optimal conditions for organ preservation prior to surgical retrieval.
