The P/FP Ratio (PaO2/Fio2 X PEEP): A Formula to Calculate the Severity of Oxygenation/ARDS with PEEP

摘要

Thepresent invention is a Formula helps in calculating the severity of Oxygenation. The Positive end expiratory pressure plays a major role in improving the oxygenation, so this formula includes the Positive End Expiratory Pressure which is a better way of assessing the arterial oxygenation status in the blood. P/FP Ratio = PaO X 10 FiO2 X PEEP PaO2 = Partial pressure of arterial Oxygenation FiO2 = Fraction of inspired Oxygenation PEEP = Positive End Expiratory Pressure
