Prognostic Performance of Bedside Lung Ultrasound Score (LUSS) and ROX Index in Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure Due to COVID-19 [PDF]
Background: Noninvasive ventilation, mainly helmet CPAP, was widely used during the COVID-19 pandemic, even outside of intensive care units. Both the ROX index and the LUS score (LUSS) have been proposed as tools to predict negative outcomes in patients ...

Rox Index Dynamics According to High Flow Nasal Cannula Success in Intensive Care Unit Patients with COVID-19-Related Acute Respiratory Failure [PDF]
Background: High-flow nasal cannula therapy has been shown to be useful in the treatment of patients with acute respiratory failure caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus disease-2. The ROX index can help predict the success of high-flow

Impact of an ROX index-guided intubation strategy on mortality in patients receiving high-flow nasal cannula: a target trial emulation [PDF]
Background The ROX index (the ratio of peripheral oxygen saturation to the fraction of inspired oxygen, divided by respiratory rate) has been validated to predict high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) failure, but whether acting on ROX to guide the timing of ...

Performance of the ROX index in predicting high flow nasal cannula failure in COVID-19 patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
COVID-19 patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) benefit from high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy. However, delays in initiating invasive ventilation after HFNC failure are associated with poorer outcomes.

Predicting Intubation in COVID-19 Patients by the ROX Index Method
Aim: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the ROX index for predicting intubation in Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients receiving high nasal flow cannula (HNFC) and to underline the risk and association of intubation with pre-existing ...

External validation of the HACOR score and ROX index for predicting treatment failure in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia managed on high-flow nasal cannula therapy: a multicenter retrospective observational study in Japan [PDF]
Background The HACOR score for predicting treatment failure includes vital signs and acid–base balance factors, whereas the ROX index only considers the respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2).

Validity of the ROX index in predicting invasive mechanical ventilation requirement in pneumonia. [PDF]
Background The ROX index (Respiratory rate-OXygenation) has been described as a prediction tool to identify the need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure treated with high-flow nasal cannula in order to avoid delay of a necessary ...

Choice of respiratory therapy for COVID-19 patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure: a retrospective case series study [PDF]
Background In the treatment of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) due to coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), physicians choose respiratory management ranging from low-flow oxygen therapy to more invasive methods, depending on the severity of the patient’
