[The relationships between oxygenation index and prognosis in acute respiratory failure patients treated by invasive mechanical ventilation].
To investigate the effect of oxygenation index (PaO(2)/FiO(2)) on patients' prognosis through comparative analyzing the monitoring indicators of acute respiratory failure patients treated by invasive mechanical ventilation. ⋯ The present study demonstrated that the level of PaO(2)/FiO(2) is related with the prognosis of acute respiratory failure patients treated by invasive mechanical ventilation. Continuously monitoring the changes in PaO(2)/FiO(2) can be used as an important reference index to evaluate the prognosis of critical patients.
