How do you calculate FiO2 ratio?
“F” represents the FIO2 – the fraction (percent) of inspired oxygen that the patient is receiving expressed as a decimal (40% oxygen = FIO2 of 0.40). P divided by F = P/F ratio. Example: PaO2 = 90 on 40% oxygen (FIO2 = 0.40): 90 / 0.40 = P/F ratio = 225.
How do you calculate PaO2 from FiO2?
PaO2 should = FiO2 x 500 (e.g. 0.21 x 500 = 105 mmHg)
How do you calculate PaO2?
The alveolar gas equation is a formula used to approximate the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveolus (PAO2):PAO2=(PB−PH2O)FiO2−(PaCO2÷R)where PB is the barometric pressure, PH2O is the water vapor pressure (usually 47mmHg), FiO2 is the fractional concentration of inspired oxygen, and R is the gas exchange ratio.
What is the normal PaO2 FiO2 ratio?
PaO2/ FiO2 or 60/0.21 = about 300. A normal P/F Ratio is ≥ 400 and equivalent to a PaO2 ≥ 80 mmHg on room air.
What is the FiO2 of 6 liters nasal cannula?
44%
At 6 LPM, the approximate FiO2 is 44%.
How much FiO2 is in a nasal cannula?
A traditional nasal cannula can only effectively provide only up to 4 to 6 liters per minute of supplemental oxygen. This equates to a FiO2 of approximately 0.37 to 0.45.
How do you calculate PF ratio with PaO2 and FiO2?
Let’s say our patient has PaO2 = 95 mmHg, which is a healthy value (between 75 – 100 mmHg) and has a FiO2 = 30 % (so this patient is most likely receiving oxygen-enriched air). PaO₂ / FiO₂ = PF ratio 95 mmHg / 30 % = 316.67 mmHg This result is pathological, as a healthy PF ratio is > 400 mmHg.
What is the mdcalc calculator?

Why is my FiO2 21%?
If you breathe regular air (you probably do – it’s almost everywhere), your FiO2 is equal to 21 %. Patients with hypoxemia, breathing difficulties, or any other medical condition affecting the inspiration process, receive oxygen-enriched air. In these cases, their FiO2 is higher than 21 % but typically less than 50 % as to avoid oxygen toxicity.
What is a PF ratio calculator used for?
This PF ratio calculator(also a PaO2 FiO2 ratio calculator) is designed to determine a patient’s respiratory efficiency. Its primary purpose is as a clinical indicator of hypoxemia (an abnormally low level of oxygen in the blood).
