A prospective observational study to compare the ratio of Pulse oximetric saturation (Spo2)/Fraction of inspired oxygen (Fio2) {S/F ratio} with the ratio of Partial pressure of oxygen(Pao2)/ Fio2 {P/F ratio} among the critically ill children requiring respiratory support in a pediatric intensive care unit

Objectives: To compare and analyse the relationship between Pao2/Fio2 (P/F) ratio and Spo2 /Fio2 (S/F) ratio in critically ill children requiring respiratory support. Materials and Methods: Our study was done over a period of 7 months (February 2016-August 2016) in the Paediatric Intensive care Unit...
