Abstract
Background: Ratio of arterial pressure of oxygen and fraction of inspired oxygen (P/F ratio) together with the fractional dead space (Vd/Vt) provides a global assessment of pulmonary gas exchange. The aim of this study was to assess the potential value of these variables to prognosticate 90-day survival in patients with COVID-19 associated ARDS admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for invasive ventilatory support.
Methods: In this single-center observational, retrospective study, P/F ratios and Vd/Vt were assessed up to 4 weeks after ICU-admission. Measurements from the first 2 weeks were used to evaluate the predictive value of P/F ratio and Vd/Vt for 90-day mortality and reported by the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals [95%CI] by Cox proportional hazard regression.
Results: Almost 20,000 blood gases in 130 patients were analyzed. The overall 90-day mortality was 30% and using the data from the first ICU week, the HR was 0.85 [0.77-0.94] for every 10 mmHg increase in P/F ratio and 1.61 [1.20-2.16] for every 0.1 increase in Vd/Vt. In the second week, the HR for 90-day mortality was 0.82 [0.75-0.89] for every 10 mmHg increase in P/F ratio and 1.97 [1.42-2.73] for every 0.1 increase in Vd/Vt.
Conclusion: The progressive changes in P/F ratio and Vd/Vt in the first 2 weeks of invasive ventilatory support for COVID-19 ARDS were significant predictors for 90-day mortality.

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica publishes papers on original work in the fields of anaesthesiology, intensive care, pain, emergency medicine, and subjects related to their basic sciences, on condition that they are contributed exclusively to this Journal. Case reports and short communications may be considered for publication if of particular interest; also letters to the Editor, especially if related to already published material. The editorial board is free to discuss the publication of reviews on current topics, the choice of which, however, is the prerogative of the board. Every effort will be made by the Editors and selected experts to expedite a critical review of manuscripts in order to ensure rapid publication of papers of a high scientific standard.
