Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the arterial/alveolar oxygen tension ratio in assessing respiratory distress syndrome in infants.
Comparative analysis of Pao₂/PAO₂, P(A-a)o₂, and shunt fraction in infants with RDS
Involvement of infants aged up to 108 hours
Assessment of hypoxemia and oxygen management
Pao₂/PAO₂ showed greater utility than P(A-a)o₂ for tracking RDS severity
Pao₂/PAO₂ helps predict necessary oxygen adjustments for treatment
Findings were based on 6 infants, revealing important management insights
