Article Abstract
Background: Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) is a major factor for increased mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU). We hypothesized that the noninvasive index SpO/FiO (SF) ratio can be used as a surrogate to invasive index PaO/FiO (PF) as SF ratio correlates with PF ratio in all modes of oxygen supplementation.
Patients And Methods: Patients with acute respiratory failure admitted to the intensive care unit were enrolled in this retrospective cross-sectional study. Fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO), method of oxygen supplementation, and partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO) were noted from the ABG reports in the medical records. The corresponding SpO was noted from the nurse's chart. The calculated SF and PF ratios were recorded, and correlation between the same was noted in different methods of oxygen administration.
Results: A total of 300-sample data were collected. Pearson's correlation was used to quantify the relationship between the variables. The study showed a positive correlation, = 0.66 ( <0.001), between PF ratio and SF ratio. SF threshold values were 285 and 323 for corresponding PF values of 200 and 300 with a sensitivity and specificity in the range of 70 to 80%. In addition, SF and PF could also be used interchangeably irrespective of the mode of oxygen supplementation, as the median values of PF ratio ( = 0.06) and SF ratio ( = 0.88) were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: In patients with AHRF, the noninvasive SF ratio can be used as a surrogate to invasive index PF in all modes of oxygen supplementation.

Background: Hospitalised patients undergo routine vital sign measurements to detect clinical deterioration. Research into vital signs prior to in-hospital cardiac arrest is crucial, as early detection of deterioration can enable timely intervention and potentially prevent cardiac arrest. This study aimed to investigate the association between vital signs and the risk of in-hospital cardiac arrest.

Background: Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a common pulmonary vascular disease with its incidence rising year by year. Accurate diagnosis and early risk stratification of patients with APE are crucial for treatment follow-up, especially for patients with intermediate-to-high and high-risk. The aim of this study is to explore the value of blood gas parameters, especially arterial partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO/FiO) ratio (P/F ratio), in evaluating the risk stratification of APE.

Lower respiratory tract infections remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among Intensive Care Unit patients, with severe cases often progressing to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This life-threatening syndrome results from alveolar-capillary membrane injury, causing refractory hypoxemia and respiratory failure. Early detection and management are critical to treat the underlying cause, provide protective lung ventilation, and, eventually, improve patient outcomes.

Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic threatened public health and placed a significant burden on medical resources. The Immunophenotyping Assessment in a COVID-19 Cohort (IMPACC) study collected clinical, demographic, blood cytometry, serum receptor-binding domain (RBD) antibody titers, metabolomics, targeted proteomics, nasal metagenomics, Olink, nasal viral load, autoantibody, SARS-CoV-2 antibody titers, and nasal and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) transcriptomics data from patients hospitalized with COVID-19. The aim of this study is to select baseline biomarkers and build predictive models for 28-day in-hospital COVID-19 severity and mortality with most predictive variables while prioritizing routinely collected variables.
