FiO2

FiO₂ is the fraction of inspired oxygen in a gas mixture. [1]

The FiO2's listed in this table are estimates only for the completion of the APACHE II score. The actual FiO₂ that a patient gets varies due to a number of factors.

The FiO2 is used to calculate the AaDO2 which is a component of the APACHE score as follows:

for FiO2 >= 50 %, 
AaDO2 = ((FiO2 * 713) - PO2) - Serum CO2
