Abstract
This study shows the application to 20 patients of a very simple formula to estimate A-aDo2 and intrapulmonary shunt, from data commonly available in patients with oxygenation disorders. The values obtained by the“clinical short cut”method and the more sophisticated one are in statistically significant correlation. La présente étude démontre, chez 20 patients, l’application d’une formule simple pour estimer l’A-aDo2 et le shunt intrapulmonaire. Cette formule utilise les données normalement mesurées chezles patients qui présentent des troubles d’oxygénation. La corrélation entre les valeurs obtenues par la méthode simplifiée et celles découlant d’une méthode à la fois beaucoup plus précise et sophistiquée est statistiquement très valable.Keywords
