Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on gas exchange in mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19.
Background: A major contributor to unfavorable outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is secondary brain injury. Low brain tissue oxygen tension (PbtO2) has shown to be an independent predictor of ...
Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common cause of respiratory failure in patients in intensive care unit (ICU). The therapeutic value of glucocorticoids (GCs) in the ...
Introduction Hypoxic challenge test consisting of breathing 15% FiO2 for 20 min with blood gas measurements is recommended by BTS guidelines for the assessment of the requirement for in-flight oxygen.
The P/F ratio, also known as the PaO2/FiO2 ratio, is a valuable tool for evaluating oxygenation status in critically ill patients. It is commonly used to determine the severity of acute respiratory ...
Calculating the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) is an essential skill for medical professionals, especially in assessing a patient’s respiratory health. This article will provide a ...
