  • Defining acute lung disease in children with the oxygenation saturation index.

    Thomas NJ, Shaffer ML, Willson DF, Shih MC, Curley MA. Pediatr Crit Care Med. 2010; 11 (1): 12-7

    To evaluate whether a formula could be derived using oxygen saturation (Spo2) to replace Pao2 that would allow identification of children with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Definitions of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome require arterial blood gases to determine the Pao2/Fio2 ratio of 300 (acute lung injury) and 200 (acute respiratory distress syndrome).
