RT Clinic : Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FiO2) for a standard ...

Fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) is the fraction or percentage of oxygen in the volume being measured. Medical patients experiencing difficulty breathing are provided with oxygen-enriched air, which means a higher-than-atmospheric FiO2. Natural air includes 21% oxygen, which is equivalent to FiO2 of 0.21. Oxygen-enriched air has a higher FiO2 than 0.21; up to 1.00 which means 100% oxygen. FiO2 is typically maintained below 0.5 even with mechanical ventilation, to avoid oxygen toxicity. If a patient is wearing a nasal cannula or a simple face mask, each additional liter/min of oxygen adds about 4 percentage points for each of the first 3 liters and only 3 percentage points for every liter thereafter to their FiO2 (for example, a patient with a nasal cannula with 4L/min of oxygen flow would have an FIO2 of 21% + (3 x 4%)+(1 x 3%) =36%).

Often used in medicine, the FiO2 is used to represent the percentage of oxygen participating in gas-exchange. If the barometric pressure changes, the FiO2 may remain constant while the partial pressure of oxygen changes with the change in barometric pressure.

Equations

Abbreviated alveolar air equation
P A O 2 = P E O 2 - P i O 2 V D V t 1 - V D V t {\displaystyle P_{A}O_{2}={\frac {P_{E}O_{2}-P_{i}O_{2}{\frac {V_{D}}{V_{t}}}}{1-{\frac {V_{D}}{V_{t}}}}}}

PAO2, PEO2, and PiO2 are the partial pressures of oxygen in alveolar, expired, and inspired gas, respectively, and VD/VT is the ratio of physiologic dead space over tidal volume.

Medicine

In medicine, the FiO2 is the assumed percentage of oxygen concentration participating in gas exchange in the alveoli.

Uses

The FiO2 is used in the APACHE II (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II) severity of disease classification system for intensive care unit patients. For FiO2 values equal to or greater than 0.5, the alveolar-arterial gradient value should be used in the APACHE II score calculation. Otherwise, the PaO2 will suffice.

The ratio between partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) and FiO2 is used as an indicator of hypoxemia per the American-European Consensus Conference on lung injury. A high FiO2 has been shown to alter the ratio of PaO2/FiO2.

PaO2/FiO2 ratio

The ratio of partial pressure arterial oxygen and fraction of inspired oxygen, sometimes called the Carrico index, is a comparison between the oxygen level in the blood and the oxygen concentration that is breathed. This helps to determine the degree of any problems with how the lungs transfer oxygen to the blood. A sample of arterial blood is collected for this test. A PaO2/FiO2 ratio less than or equal to 200 is necessary for the diagnosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome by the AECC criteria. The more recent Berlin criteria defines mild ARDS at a ratio of <300.

A PaO2/FiO2 ratio less than or equal to 250 is one of the minor criteria for severe community acquired pneumonia (i.e., possible indication for inpatient treatment).

A PaO2/FiO2 ratio less than or equal to 333 is one of the variables in the SMART-COP risk score for intensive respiratory or vasopressor support in community-acquired pneumonia.

Example calculation: After drawing an ABG from a patient the PaO2 is found to be 100mmHg. Since the patient is receiving O2-saturated air resulting in a FiO2 of 50% oxygen his calculated PaO2/FiO2 ratio would be 100 mmHg / 0.5 = 200.

Alveolar air equation

The alveolar air equation is the following formula, used to calculate the partial pressure of alveolar gas:

P A O 2 = F I O 2 ( P B - P H 2 O ) - P A C O 2 ( F I O 2 + 1 - F I O 2 R ) {\displaystyle P_{A}O_{2}=F_{I}O_{2}(PB-PH_{2}O)-P_{A}CO_{2}(F_{I}O_{2}+{\frac {1-FIO2}{R}})}
