Evaluation of Oxygen Saturation Index Compared With Oxygenation Index in Neonates With Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure

Abstract

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.
