Novel Oxygenation and Saturation Indices for Mortality Prediction in COVID-19 ARDS Patients: The Impact of Driving Pressure and Mechanical Power
Description
Background: The oxygenation index (OI) and oxygen saturation index (OSI) are proven mortality predictors in pediatric and adult patients, traditionally using mean airway pressure (P(mean)). We introduce novel indices, replacing P(mean) with DP (ΔP
