Can Alveolar-Arterial Oxygen Pressure Difference be used to Diagnose Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Pneumonia Patients?

Alveolar-arterial oxygen pressure difference (P(Aa)O2) can reflect pulmonary ability to exchange oxygen; it shows good correlation with the oxygenation index (OI), which is important in diagnosing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This study explored the ability of P(Aa)O2 in diagnosing AR…
