Pao2is the gold standard to assess acute hypoxic respiratory failure, but it is only routinely available by intermittent spot checks, precluding any automatic continuous analysis for bedside tools.#To validate a continuous and noninvasive method to estimate hypoxemia severity for all Spo2values.#All ...
We used our previously validated mathematical model to determine the magnitude of hypoxemia by computing the estimated ePao2/Fio2(ePF) ratio and comparing it to the Spo2/Fio2(SF), using PF ratio as the reference standard.#None.#We analyzed a total of 20,828 ABGs. When Spo2was below or ...
