OBJECTIVE 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). DESIGN Post hoc data analysis of measurements abstracted from two prospective databases of randomized controlled trials. SETTING Academic pediatric intensive care units. PATIENTS A total of 255 children enrolled in two large prospective trials of therapeutic intervention for acute lung disease: calfactant and prone positioning. INTERVENTIONS Data were abstracted including Pao2, Paco2, pH, Fio2, and mean airway pressure. Repeated-measures analyses, using linear mixed-effects models, were used to build separate prediction equations for the Spo2/Fio2 ratio, oxygenation index [(Fio2 x Mean Airway Pressure)/Pao2], and oxygen saturation index [(Fio2 x Mean Airway Pressure)/Spo2 ]. A generalization of R was used to measure goodness-of-fit. Generalized estimating equations with a logit link were used to calculate the sensitivity and specificity for the cutoffs of Pao2/Fio2 ratio of 200 and 300 and equivalent values of Spo2/Fio2 ratio, oxygenation index, and oxygen saturation index. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS An Spo2/Fio2 ratio of 253 and 212 would equal criteria for acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome, respectively. An oxygenation index of 5.3 would equal acute lung injury criteria, and an oxygenation index of 8.1 would qualify for acute respiratory distress syndrome. An oxygen saturation index, which includes the mean airway pressure and the noninvasive measure of oxygenation, of 6.5 would be equivalent to the acute lung injury criteria, and an oxygen saturation index of 7.8 would equal acute respiratory distress syndrome criteria. CONCLUSIONS Noninvasive methods of assessing oxygenation may be utilized with reasonable sensitivity and specificity to define acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome, and, with prospective validation, have the potential to increase the number of children enrolled into clinical trials.

Cuban Exogenous Pulmonary Surfactant in Treatment of Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

INTRODUCTION Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a complex heterogeneous disorder with low incidence but high case fatality in children. Treatment with pulmonary surfactants is a possible option. Surfacen, a Cuban exogenous pulmonary surfactant, has been proven safe and effective in premature newborns with hyaline membrane disease, but evidence regarding its effi cacy in older children is st...

Characterizing degree of lung injury in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome.

OBJECTIVE Although all definitions of acute respiratory distress syndrome use some measure of hypoxemia, neither the Berlin definition nor recently proposed pediatric-specific definitions proposed by the Pediatric Acute Lung Injury Consensus Conference utilizing oxygenation index specify which PaO2/FIO2 or oxygenation index best categorizes lung injury. We aimed to identify variables associated...

Effects of Pentoxifylline on Oxygenation and Exercise Tolerance in Patients with Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Background: It was hypothesized that the use of Pentoxifylline would increase arterial O2 saturation and increase exercise tolerance in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Methods: We tested this hypothesis in 23 patients with COPD and pulmonary hypertension. Patients were randomized to receive Pentoxifylline or placebo, each for a 12-week period, in a prospectiv...

The Significance of BODE (BMI, Obstruction, Dyspnea, Exercise) Index in Patients with Mustard Lung

  Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) secondary to sulfur mustard exposure, known as mustard lung, is an important late pulmonary complication. The BODE (Body mass index, Obstruction, Dyspnea, and Exercise) index has been established as a valuable tool for determining the adverse consequences of COPD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the BODE index in pat...

Saturation oxygen pressure index for assessment of pulmonary disease in neonates on non-invasive ventilation.

This prospective observational study on 36 neonates aimed to estimate the correlation between the new Saturation Oxygen distending Pressure Index (SOPI) and Oxygenation index. SOPI had high correlation (r=0.94) with oxygenation index. SOPI of <2, 2, and 3.7 represented mild, moderate and severe pulmonary disease, respectively with high sensitivity and specificity.
