Hello,

We are looking for discrete LOINC codes for the systolic and diastolic parts of Mean Blood Pressure in the following special contexts: During anesthesia, while sitting, while standing, and while lying.

Are we just not finding them in our search, or do they not exist?

An insight greatly appreciated!

Hello @Piper-Ranallo. Thank you for your question. There is no mean systolic or mean diastolic pressure, only mean pressure. It is one, calculated by the formula: MBP = diastolic blood pressure (DBP) + 1/3 [systolic blood pressure (SBP) – DBP].
You can use the concepts for systolic/diastolic blood pressure in any body position.
