Abstract
Background
In veterinary medicine, high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNT) has gained popularity in managing hypoxemic respiratory failure, bridging the gap between conventional oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation. The SpO2:FiO2 (SF) ratio could be useful in assessing oxygenation impairment in dogs undergoing HFNT. The current study aimed to determine whether the SF ratio correlates with the PaO2:FiO2 (PF) ratio in dogs undergoing HFNT.
Key Findings
A total of 30 data pairs with concurrent SpO2 and PaO2 measurements were identified from 19 dogs treated with HFNT from two university veterinary teaching hospitals. PF and SF ratios were measured when PaO2 fell between 74 and 129 mm Hg. The median SF and PF ratios were 186 (interquartile range: 97–243) and 168 (interquartile range: 108–297), respectively. SF ratios were strongly correlated with PF ratios (rho = 0.86 [95% confidence interval: 0.73–0.93], p < 0.001, weighted r = 0.89 [95% confidence interval: 0.74–0.96]).
Significance
Preliminary results suggest a statistically significant positive correlation between SF and PF ratios in dogs treated with HFNT. This study provides data that can be used to calculate appropriate sample sizes for subsequent studies investigating the specific SF ratios corresponding with the PF ratios as the criteria for assessing hypoxemia.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care’s primary aim is to advance the international clinical standard of care for emergency/critical care patients of all species. The journal’s content is relevant to specialist and non-specialist veterinarians practicing emergency/critical care medicine. The journal achieves it aims by publishing descriptions of unique presentation or management; retrospective and prospective evaluations of prognosis, novel diagnosis, or therapy; translational basic science studies with clinical relevance; in depth reviews of pertinent topics; topical news and letters; and regular themed issues.
The journal is the official publication of the Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society, the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, the European Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society, and the European College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care. It is a bimonthly publication with international impact and adheres to currently accepted ethical standards.
