SOFA Cardiovascular Sub-Score — Vasopressor Dose Assessment

Calculate the cardiovascular component of the SOFA score based on mean arterial pressure and vasopressor requirements to assess circulatory failure severity in ICU patients.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculate the cardiovascular component of the SOFA score based on mean arterial pressure and vasopressor requirements to assess circulatory failure severity in ICU patients

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Mean arterial pressure — The mean arterial pressure recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Vasopressor requirements — The vasopressor requirements recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the sofa cardiovascular result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the mean arterial pressure, vasopressor requirements for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate the cardiovascular component of the SOFA score based on mean arterial pressure and vasopressor requirements to assess circulatory failure severity in ICU patients. Use the sofa cardiovascular result to inform your calculation.
