To evaluate partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood/fractional percentage of inspired oxygen (PaO2 /FiO2 ) and SaO2 /FiO2 ratios (where SaO2 is percentage of oxyhemoglobin saturation in arterial ...
The fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) is the concentration of oxygen in the gas mixture. The gas mixture at room air has a fraction of inspired oxygen of 21%, meaning that the concentration of oxygen ...
Introduction Targeted oxygenation protocols in mechanically ventilated patients are critical in avoiding the deleterious effects of hypoxaemia and hyperoxaemia. Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) is ...
Background Oxygen may be delivered by various non-invasive methods to infants. Currently there is limited evidence about the actual fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) available via these different ...
In a recent noninferiority randomized trial, the impact of high intraoperative oxygen therapy, specifically a fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) of 0.8, was compared to a standard FiO2 ranging from ...
Researchers have found that resuscitation with higher fractional inspired oxygen (FiO2) levels significantly reduces mortality in preterm infants born at less than 32 weeks' gestation. This conclusion ...
Oxygen is the most common drug used in the neonatal intensive care. It has a narrow therapeutic range in preterm infants. Too high (hyperoxemia) or low oxygen (hypoxemia) is associated with adverse ...
