➡️ Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FiO2)
This refers to the concentration of oxygen that is being inhaled by the patient. For patients with severe hypoxemia, an FiO2 of 100% may be required when mechanical ventilation is initiated. But your goal as a Respiratory Therapist should be to wean the FiO2 down to the lowest possible level that still provides adequate oxygenation. If a patient receives an FiO2 greater than 60% for a prolonged period of time, it increases their chances of oxygen toxicity.
