ABSTRACT

Introduction: oxygenation indices we assess the function of the respiratory system of oxygenation and ventilation. Objective: to determine the value of arterial gases as a prognostic factor for the outcome of patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. Material and methods: retrospective, longitudinal, descriptive, analytical study. We included patients > 18 years with a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia between 1 June and 31 December 2020. Patients were classified according to outcome: survivor or non-survivor. Descriptive statistics and parametric and non-parametric tests were used according to the case, ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve) curves were constructed to determine the cut-off points of arterial gases with the best sensitivity and specificity and the area under the curve (AUC) for the fatal outcome was determined. Results: we included 175 patients, 70.3% corresponded to the male sex, the mean age was 56 years (interquartile range 45-64). The survivor group included 51 patients and the non-survivor group 124 patients. When analyzing arterial gases at the time of admission to the ICU, paO2/FiO2 of 100 mmHg and respiratory index (RI) > 2.4 with ABC 0.694 and 0.722 respectively. At 96 hours of admission, PaO2/FiO2 of 145 mmHg stands out, the RI > 3 and the DA-aO2 of 0.22 with ABC 0.846, 0.840 and 0.842 respectively. Conclusion: arterial blood gases measured at 96 hours of ICU admission are prognostic markers for fatal outcome in severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.
