Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes Are Similar in ARDS Diagnosed by Oxygen Saturation/Fio2 Ratio Compared With Pao2/Fio2 Ratio.

ABSTRACT: Oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry/Fio2 (SF) ratio is highly correlated with the Pao2/Fio2 (PF) ratio in patients with ARDS. However, it remains uncertain whether SF ratio can be substituted for PF ratio for diagnosis of ARDS and whether SF ratio might identify patients who are systemically different from patients diagnosed by PF ratio.We conducted a secondary analysis of a large observational prospective cohort study. Patients were eligible if they were admitted to the medical ICU and fulfilled the Berlin definition of ARDS with hypoxemia criteria using either the standard PF threshold (PF ratio ? 300) or a previously published SF threshold (SF ratio ? 315).Of 362 patients with ARDS, 238 (66%) received a diagnosis by PF ratio and 124 (34%) by SF ratio. In a small group of patients who received diagnoses of ARDS by SF ratio who had arterial blood gas measurements on the same day (n = 10), the PF ratio did not meet ARDS criteria. There were no major differences in clinical characteristics or comorbidities between groups with the exception of APACHE (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation) II scores, which were higher in the group diagnosed by PF ratio. However, this difference was no longer apparent when arterial blood gas-dependent variables (pH, Pao2) were removed from the APACHE II score. There were also no differences in clinical outcomes including duration of mechanical ventilation (mean, 7 days in both groups; P = .25), duration of ICU stay (mean, 10 days vs 9 days in PF ratio vs SF ratio; P = .26), or hospital mortality (36% in both groups, P = .9).Patients with ARDS diagnosed by SF ratio have very similar clinical characteristics and outcomes compared with patients diagnosed by PF ratio. These findings suggest that SF ratio could be considered as a diagnostic tool for early enrollment into clinical trials.

Project description:BackgroundInjury to the airways after smoke inhalation is a major mortality risk factor in victims of burn injuries, resulting in a 15-45% increase in patient deaths. Damage to the airways by smoke may induce acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which is partly characterized by hypoxemia in the airways. While ARDS has been associated with bacterial infection, the impact of hypoxemia on airway microbiota is unknown. Our objective was to identify differences in microbiota within the airways of burn patients who develop hypoxemia early after inhalation injury and those that do not using next-generation sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA genes.ResultsDNA was extracted from therapeutic bronchial washings of 48 patients performed within 72 hours of hospitalization for burn and inhalation injury at the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center. DNA was prepared for sequencing using a novel molecule tagging method and sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq platform. Bacterial species were identified using the MTToolbox pipeline. Patients with hypoxemia, as indicated by a PaO2/FiO2 ratio ? 300, had a 30% increase in abundance of Streptococcaceae and Enterobacteriaceae and 84% increase in Staphylococcaceae as compared to patients with a PaO2/FiO2 ratio > 300. Wilcoxon rank-sum test identified significant enrichment in abundance of OTUs identified as Prevotella melaninogenica (p = 0.042), Corynebacterium (p = 0.037) and Mogibacterium (p = 0.048). Linear discriminant effect size analysis (LefSe) confirmed significant enrichment of Prevotella melaninognica among patients with a PaO2/FiO2 ratio ? 300 (p<0.05). These results could not be explained by differences in antibiotic treatment.ConclusionsThe airway microbiota following burn and inhalation injury is altered in patients with a PaO2/FiO2 ratio ? 300 early after injury. Enrichment of specific taxa in patients with a PaO2/FiO2 ratio ? 300 may indicate airway environment and patient changes that favor these microbes. Longitudinal studies are necessary to identify stably colonizing taxa that play roles in hypoxemia and ARDS pathogenesis.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:In the contemporary ICU, mechanically ventilated patients may not have arterial blood gas measurements available at relevant timepoints. Severity criteria often depend on arterial blood gas results. Retrospective studies suggest that nonlinear imputation of PaO2/FIO2 from SpO2/FIO2 is accurate, but this has not been established prospectively among mechanically ventilated ICU patients. The objective was to validate the superiority of nonlinear imputation of PaO2/FIO2 among mechanically ventilated patients and understand what factors influence the accuracy of imputation. DESIGN:Simultaneous SpO2, oximeter characteristics, receipt of vasopressors, and skin pigmentation were recorded at the time of a clinical arterial blood gas. Acute respiratory distress syndrome criteria were recorded. For each imputation method, we calculated both imputation error and the area under the curve for patients meeting criteria for acute respiratory distress syndrome (PaO2/FIO2 ? 300) and moderate-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (PaO2/FIO2 ? 150). SETTING:Nine hospitals within the Prevention and Early Treatment of Acute Lung Injury network. PATIENTS:We prospectively enrolled 703 mechanically ventilated patients admitted to the emergency departments or ICUs of participating study hospitals. INTERVENTIONS:None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:We studied 1,034 arterial blood gases from 703 patients; 650 arterial blood gases were associated with SpO2 less than or equal to 96%. Nonlinear imputation had consistently lower error than other techniques. Among all patients, nonlinear had a lower error (p < 0.001) and higher (p < 0.001) area under the curve (0.87; 95% CI, 0.85-0.90) for PaO2/FIO2 less than or equal to 300 than linear/log-linear (0.80; 95% CI, 0.76-0.83) imputation. All imputation methods better identified moderate-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (PaO2/FIO2 ? 150); nonlinear imputation remained superior (p < 0.001). For PaO2/FIO2 less than or equal to 150, the sensitivity and specificity for nonlinear imputation were 0.87 (95% CI, 0.83-0.90) and 0.91 (95% CI, 0.88-0.93), respectively. Skin pigmentation and receipt of vasopressors were not associated with imputation accuracy. CONCLUSIONS:In mechanically ventilated patients, nonlinear imputation of PaO2/FIO2 from SpO2/FIO2 seems accurate, especially for moderate-severe hypoxemia. Linear and log-linear imputations cannot be recommended.

Project description:ImportanceThe early identification of patients at high risk of clinical deterioration represents one of the greatest challenges for emergency medical services (EMS).ObjectiveTo assess whether use of the ratio of prehospital oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (Spo2) to fraction of inspired oxygen (Fio2) measured during initial contact by EMS with the patient (ie, the first Spo2 to Fio2 ratio) and 5 minutes before the patient's arrival at the hospital (ie, the second Spo2 to Fio2 ratio) can predict the risk of early in-hospital deterioration.Design, setting, and participantsA prospective, derivation-validation prognostic cohort study of 3606 adults with acute diseases referred to 5 tertiary care hospitals in Spain was conducted between October 26, 2018, and June 30, 2020. Eligible patients were recruited from among all telephone requests for EMS assistance for adults who were later evacuated with priority in advanced life support units to the referral hospitals during the study period.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was hospital mortality from any cause within the first, second, third, or seventh day after EMS transport to the hospital. The main measure was the Spo2 to Fio2 ratio.ResultsA total of 3606 participants comprised 2 separate cohorts: the derivation cohort (3081 patients) and the validation cohort (525 patients). The median age was 69 years (interquartile range, 54-81 years), and 2122 patients (58.8%) were men. The overall mortality rate of the patients in the study cohort ranged from 3.6% for 1-day mortality (131 patients) to 7.1% for 7-day mortality (256 patients). The best model performance was for 2-day mortality with the second Spo2 to Fio2 ratio with an area under the curve of 0.890 (95% CI, 0.829-0.950; P < .001), although the other outcomes also presented good results. In addition, a risk-stratification model was generated. The optimal cutoff resulted in the following ranges of Spo2 to Fio2 ratios: 50 to 100 for high risk of mortality, 101 to 426 for intermediate risk, and 427 to 476 for low risk.Conclusions and relevanceThis study suggests that use of the prehospital Spo2 to Fio2 ratio was associated with improved management of patients with acute disease because it accurately predicts short-term mortality.

Project description:Importance:Oxygenation index (OI), an invasive measurement, is routinely used as a marker of severity of hypoxemic respiratory failure in neonates. Oxygen saturation index (OSI) is a noninvasive measurement and has been shown to be a reliable surrogate marker of OI in children and adults with respiratory failure. Objectives:To evaluate the correlation of OI with OSI and to derive and validate predictive OI from noninvasive OSI measurements for clinically relevant OI values. Design, Setting, and Participants:For this retrospective cohort study, 220 neonates requiring invasive mechanical ventilation for hypoxic respiratory failure during the first 3 days of admission were recruited from a level III neonatal intensive care unit during a 6-year period, from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2017. Data were analyzed from January 2017 to December 2017. Main Outcomes and Measures:The primary outcome was correlation of OI with OSI, analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient. The secondary outcome was derivation and validation of OI from OSI. The data were split into derivative samples, from which a predictive equation for OI was derived using generalized linear model, and a validation sample was used to assess the predictive ability of the derived OI. Bland-Altman plot was used to assess agreement between derived OI and measured OI. Results:A total of 1442 paired OI and OSI measurements from 220 infants (190 preterm and 30 term; median [interquartile range] gestational age, 29 [26-33] weeks; mean [SD] birth weight, 1602 [1092] g) were recorded during the study. The median (interquartile range) number of samples was 5 (3-9) per patient. Overall, OI and OSI showed strong correlation (r = 0.89). The correlation was stronger in preterm infants (<28 weeks, r = 0.93; 28-33 weeks, r = 0.93) and within an oxygen saturation range of 85% to 95% (r = 0.94). The predictive derivative equation showed a strong linear association and good agreement in both derivation and validation data sets, with strong accuracy measures of derived OI for OI cutoffs of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25. Conclusions and Relevance:A strong correlation of OI with OSI was found. Derived OI from OSI was in good agreement and strongly predictive of clinically relevant OI cutoffs from 5 to 25. Oxygenation index derived from noninvasive sources may be useful to reliably assess severity of respiratory failure and response to therapy on a continuous basis.
