The following is a summary of “Clinical Performance of Spo 2 /Fio 2 and Pao 2 /Fio 2 Ratio in Mechanically Ventilated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients: A Retrospective Study,” published in ...

Background: The use of pulse oximetry (SpO2) as an estimate of cardiac output (CO) in shunted single ventricle patients ignores pulmonary venous and mixed systemic venous saturation (MVO2). With a ...

Abstract: In times of pandemics, mechanical ventilators are indispensable for delivering controlled inspired oxygen (FiO2) to maintain appropriate blood oxygen saturation levels (SaO2). Abrupt drops ...

The following is a summary of “Prognostic value of PaO2/FiO2 ratio in predicting clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients,” published in the June 2024 issue of Critical Care by Canto-Costal et al.

The models use maximal deflection of esophageal pressure to quantify HFOT-related breathing effort (ΔPes) and the risk for strong breathing effort (ΔPes >10 cmH2O). Two models have been developed to ...

Introduction Previous studies suggested that electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has the potential to guide positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration via quantifying the alveolar collapse ...

The Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FiO2) is a crucial parameter in respiratory therapy, as it measures the concentration of oxygen a patient receives. Accurate calculation of FiO2 ensures appropriate ...
