Comparison of the oxygenation index and the oxygen saturation index as clinical indicators for neonatal ECMO

John Slaughter, Jeremy Sites, Hubert Ballard, John Bauer, Aric Schadler, Nicholas SeverynUniversity of Kentucky College of Medicine. United States Frontiers in PediatricsFront Pediatr 2025; 13: DOI: 10.3389/fped.2025.1586985 AbstractIntroduction: Neonatal hypoxic respiratory failure is commonly assessed with the oxygenation index (OI) to determine severity and guide ECMO initiation. Calculation of the OI requires arterial blood sampling which can
