Oxygen index represents the oxygenation dysfunction in the ICU patients
Formula used:
Where,
OI = Oxygen Index
PIP = Peak inspiratory pressure
it = Inspiratory time
PEEP= Peak end expiratory pressure
et = expiratory time
ct = Total Resp.cycle Time
FiO 2 = Fraction of inspired oxygen
PaO 2 =Partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood
OI = 35 - 60 POOR OXYGENATION, CONSIDER ECMO IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS
