What is the target systolic pressure for fluid infusion?

The target systolic pressure for fluid infusion is typically established to ensure adequate perfusion to vital organs while avoiding potential complications associated with either too low or excessively high pressure. Maintaining a systolic pressure in the range of 90 - 100 mm Hg is considered optimal in many emergency situations, as it reflects a balance that promotes effective circulation without causing stress to the cardiovascular system.

This target range helps ensure that enough blood flow reaches essential organs, which is crucial in managing conditions such as shock or trauma. Should the systolic pressure fall below this threshold, it can indicate inadequate tissue perfusion, compromising oxygen delivery. Conversely, pressures excessively above this range may increase the risk of complications such as hypervolemia or fluid overload. Therefore, the emphasis on 90 - 100 mm Hg is grounded in evidence-based practices that prioritize patient safety and effective treatment outcomes.
