BACKGROUND: Mechanical ventilation is essential for managing acute respiratory failure, but traditional methods of assessing oxygenation, like the PaO2/FiO2 ratio, pose challenges due to invasiveness and cost. OBJECTIVE: This single-centre prospective observational study aimed to assess the potential of the non-invasive Oxygen Saturation Index (OSI), utilising SpO2 measurements, to diagnose hypoxemia in mechanically ventilated adults. The study sought to establish correlations between OSI, oxygenation index (OI), PaO2/FiO2 ratio and SpO2/FiO2 ratio...
