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.
The pulse-oximetric peripheral oxygen saturation to a fraction of inspired oxygen (SpO 2 /FiO 2) ratio has been suggested as an additional hypoxemia criterion in the new global acute respiratory ...
ABSTRACT: Introduction: We wished to see the effects of inhaled PGE1 on diastolic dysfunction, left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP), pulmonary hypertension and hypoxia in ARDS patients.
