Excerpt

Oxygenation impairment can be non-invasively assessed by the degree of right-to-left shunt and ventilation/perfusion inequality. The relative rightwards displacement of an individual’s oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve (ODC) can be used to determine the reduction of the ventilation to perfusion ratio and the degree of depression of the ODC can be used to quantify the level of right to left shunt (Fig. 1). Using paired samples of peripheral oxygen saturation and fraction of inspired oxygen, a computer software can analyse and fit the data and derive a curve which represents the best fit for each infant and calculate the shunt and VA/Q. These indexes have been described in sick newborn infants with pulmonary failure [1] and bronchopulmonary dysplasia [24]. …
