FiO2
FiO2 is the fraction of inspired oxygen in a gas mixture. [1]
Estimates only
NOTE: Most FiO2s 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
to do before de-stubbing
- is "VENTURI FASK MASK" a typo? What is the right spelling?
FACE MASK. Can you fix the table please. thanks Trish
