Evaluation Of Correlation And Agreement Between Spo2/Fio2 Ratio And Pao2/Fio2 Ratio In Neonates, Hemananda K. Muniraman, Abhijeet Namjoshi, Rutuja Kibe, Rangasamy Ramanathan, Manoj Biniwale, Ashley Y. Song, Ashwini Lakshmanan

Journal of Pediatric Intensive Care

Objective: To evaluate correlation and agreement between SpO2/FiO2(SF) ratio and PaO2/FiO2 (PF) ratio. To derive and validate predictive PF ratio from noninvasive SF ratio measurements for clinically relevant PF ratios and to derive SF ratio equivalent of PF ratio cutoffs used to define acute lung injury (ALI, PF<300) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS, PF<200). Methods: Retrospective cohort study including neonates with respiratory failure over a 6-year study period. Correlation and agreement between PF ratio with SF ratio was analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman analysis. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) was used to derive PF ratio from measured PF ratio and derive corresponding SF ratio for PF ratio cutoffs for ALI and ARDS. Results: 1019 paired measurements from 196 neonates with mean 28(± 4.7) weeks gestational age and 925(±1111) grams birth weight were analyzed. Strong correlation was noted between SF ratio and PF ratio (r=0.90). Derived PF ratios from regression (1/PF =-0.0004304 + 2.0897987/SF) showed strong accuracy measures for PF ratio cutoffs <200(AUC: 0.85) and <100(AUC: 0.92) with good agreement. Equivalent SF ratio to define ALI was <450, moderate ARDS was <355 and severe ARDS was <220 with strong accuracy measures (AUC>0.81, 0.84 & 0.93 respectively). Conclusion: SF ratio correlated strongly with PF ratio with good agreement between derived PF ratio from noninvasive SpO2 source and measure PF ratio. Derived PF ratio may be useful to reliably assess severity of respiratory failure in neonates. Further studies are needed to validate SF ratio with …

Correlation Of Nonthyroidal Illness Syndrome With Extubation Outcome In Mechanically Ventilated Children: A Prospective Cohort Study, Tarek A. Abdelaziz, Mohamed Mahmoud Romih, Weaam Ibrahim Ismail, Khadija Al Mabrouk Emhalhal, Eman Gamal Baz

Journal of Pediatric Intensive Care

Objective: This study aimed to assess the relationship between nonthyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) and extubation outcomes in pediatric patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 59 patients who underwent mechanical ventilation in the pediatric intensive care unit of a tertiary care university hospital from July 2020 to June 2021. Each patient underwent laboratory testing including serum levels of TSH, free T3, free T4, and reverse T3 on the first and third days of mechanical ventilation. Results: On the first day of mechanical ventilation, 62.7% of patients had low free T3, which significantly increased to 78% of patients …

I Signed Up To Serve For A Year?! Using Path-Goal Theory To Support Civic Engagement And Success, Marylou Bagus-Hansen

Benerd College Research Showcase

Since 2022, thousands of full-time California college students apply to serve 450 hours in their college communities each spring. When the fall semester starts there is a collective "What did I get myself into?" feeling in the air and folks start dropping out, overwhelmed by commitment and expectations, sacrificing up to $10,000 of aid in the process.

Learn how one campus has utilized path-goal theory to create a system of peer support, milestone and community celebrations, and clear directives to promote a growing 94% retention rate and increased self-confidence in compassion, leadership skills, and active citizenship.
