The value of positive end-expiratory pressure and Fio2 criteria in the definition of the acute respiratory distress syndrome*

Abstract

At Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network hospitals, the addition of baseline positive end-expiratory pressure would not have increased the value of PaO₂/Fio₂ for predicting mortality of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome patients. In contrast, the addition of baseline Fio2 to PaO₂/Fio₂ could be used to identify subsets of patients with low or high mortality.
