ROX index as a predictor of failure of high-flow nasal cannula in infants with bronchiolitis [PDF]
High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a relatively recent therapy that has been used to treat respiratory failure. Until now, the criterion for failure requiring escalation to other forms of ventilatory support has remained unclear.

ROX Index Variation as a Predictor of Outcomes in COVID-19 Patients. [PDF]
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency departments were overcrowded with critically ill patients, and many providers were confronted with ethical dilemmas in assigning respiratory support to them due to scarce resources. Quick tools for evaluating patients upon admission were necessary, as many existing scores proved inaccurate in ...

Association of ROX Index with Mechanical Ventilator Use in Sepsis Patients in the Emergency Department. [PDF]
Detecting sepsis patients who are at a high-risk of mechanical ventilation is important in emergency departments (ED). The respiratory rate oxygenation (ROX) index is the ratio of tissue oxygen saturation/fraction of inspired oxygen to the respiratory rate. This study aimed to investigate whether the ROX index could predict mechanical ventilator use in

Association between prehospital ROX index with 30-day mortality among septic shock [PDF]
Purpose Respiratory dysfunction is one of the most frequent symptoms observed during sepsis reflecting hypoxemia and/or acidosis that may be assessed by the ROX index (ratio of oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry/fraction of inspired oxygen to ...

ROX index performance to predict high-flow nasal oxygen outcome in Covid-19 related hypoxemic acute respiratory failure [PDF]
Background Given the pathophysiology of hypoxemia in patients with Covid-19 acute respiratory failure (ARF), it seemed necessary to evaluate whether ROX index (ratio SpO2/FiO2 to respiratory rate) could accurately predict intubation or death in these ...

Association between ROX index and in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A retrospective cohort study based on two large databases [PDF]
Objective The ROX index, combining oxygenation and respiratory rate, is widely used to assess respiratory failure. However, its prognostic value in critically ill patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains unclear.

Prognostic significance of the ROX index in patients with acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease treated with high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy: a retrospective cohort study [PDF]
Background The respiratory rate–oxygenation (ROX) index (calculated as [SpO₂/FiO₂ ratio] / respiratory rate) is reported to be associated with outcomes in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure treated with a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC ...

The ROX index as a predictor of standard oxygen therapy outcomes in thoracic trauma [PDF]
Background Thoracic trauma is commonplace and accounts for 50–70% of the injuries found in severe trauma. Little information is available in the literature as to timing of endotracheal intubation.

Comparison of ROX index with modified indices incorporating heart rate, flow rate, and PaO2/FiO2 ratio for early prediction of outcomes among patients initiated on post-extubation high-flow nasal cannula therapy [PDF]
Background Incorporation of heart rate, flow rate, and PaO2/FIO2 (PF) ratio to ROX index has been postulated to better predict high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) usage outcomes in post-extubation setting.
