The severity of the hypoxemia defines the severity of the ARDS: -Mild ARDS - The PaO2/FiO2 is >200 mmHg but ≤300 mmHg on ventilator settings that include positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) or CPAP ≥5 cm H2O. Alternatively, the SpO2/FiO2 is >235 mmHg but ≤315 mmHg (if the SpO2 ≤97 percent)
Thank you so much for your excellent lectures. As an intensivist I have hearned a lot
