Overview
An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].
OR
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of [disease name] include [abnormal test 1], [abnormal test 2], and [abnormal test 3].
OR
[Test] is usually normal among patients with [disease name].
OR
Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].
OR
There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with [disease name].
Laboratory Findings
Shunting
- PaO2/FiO2 ratio
The PaO2/FiO2 ratio (PF ratio) is also called the Carrico index.
- Ratio = PaO2/FiO2
An example in a healthy person:
- Ratio = PaO2/0.21
A higher ratio indicates better gas exchange:
- Normal is 500
- ARDS is < 200
Interpretation is complicated by the ratio varying with FiO2[1].
Comparative studies suggest this measure correlates better with pulmonary shunts than does the A-a gradient.[2][3][4]
- SpO2/FiO2 ratio
The ratio of oxyhemoglobin saturation measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2) to FiO correlates with the PaO2/FiO2 ratio and a ratio of 315 predicts a PaO2/FiO2 of 300[5].
- AVO2D
The alveolar-arterial oxygen (A-a) difference (AVO2D) or A-a gradient is The A-a gradient is harder to calculate, but accounts for changes in respiration as measured by the partial pressure of carbon dioxide. However, this calculation relies on the respiratory quotient being constant in the prediction of alveolar CO2.
When compared to the PF ratio, the A-a gradient is found to correlate less well with pulmonary shunting.[2][3][4]
Among outpatients with possible pulmonary embolism, the A-a gradient may be a better test than oxygen saturation.[6]
An online calculator for the A-a gradient is at https://www.mdcalc.com/a-a-o2-gradient.
- PaO2/FiO2 Ratio
- Oxygenation index
The oxygenation index is the mean airway pressure×FiO2×100)÷PaO2[7]. The oxygenation index may be predict mortality than the PF ratio[7].
Tissue perfusion
- Central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2)
In patients with septic shock, maintaining the central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) > 70% is a health care quality assurance measure for the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.[8] This is measured from the superior vena cava. This is hard to predict by physical examination.[9]
- Mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2)
In patients with septic shock, maintaining the mixed venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) > 65% is a health care quality assurance measure for the Institute for Healthcare Improvement that is an alternative to the central venous oxygen saturation.[10] This is measured from a pulmonary artery catheter. This is hard to predict by physical examination.[9]
The mixed venous pressure may be lower than the central venous pressure due to mixing with blood from the splanchnic circulation or carotid sinuses that has lower oxygen content.[11]
- Tissue oxygen saturation (StO2)
Tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) at the thenar eminence may be an alternative, non-invasive measurement.[12][13]
- Lactate clearance
Maintaining lactate clearance about 10% may be an easier alternative than invasive measurements of oxygenation according to a randomized controlled trial by EMShockNet.[14]
- Capnography
Capnography, which is "continuous recording of the carbon dioxide content of expired air,"[15] may detect respiratory depression before hypoxemia occurs.[16] Proposed criteria for respiratory depression are:[16]
- End tidal CO2 (ETCO2) level 50 mm Hg
- ETCO2 change from baseline of 10%
- Loss of waveform for 15 seconds
