Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PURPOSE: In ICU patients with acute lung injury, the pulse oximetry saturation (Spo(2)) to fraction of inspired oxygen (Fio(2)) (S/F) ratio is a reliable surrogate measure for the P/F (Pao(2)/Fio(2)) ratio. Our goal was to determine the correlation of the S/F to the P/F in a large sample of patients undergoing general anesthesia and the influence of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on this measure.
METHODS: We studied adult general anesthetics performed with arterial blood gas analysis. Intraoperative data were collected from an anesthesia information system. The S/F ratios corresponding to P/F ratios of 300 were determined.
RESULTS: A total of 4439 values were collected. Linear correlation between S/F and P/F was identified (r = 0.46; P < .01) with a P/F of 300 corresponding to an S/F of 206. The correlation was stronger in patients with 5 to 9 cm PEEP (r = 0.52; P < .01), more than 9 cm H(2)O PEEP (r = 0.68; P < .01), and a P/F ratio of 300 or less (r = 0.61; P < .01).
CONCLUSION: The S/F correlates with the P/F in our cohort of patients undergoing general anesthesia, especially those ventilated with PEEP more than 9 cm H(2)O and/or with P/F less than 300. It has use as a noninvasive measure to screen for increased pulmonary dysfunction and to trend oxygenation during a general anesthetic.
