F&P ROX Calculator 1.0.5

The ROX index integrates respiratory rate and oxygenation measurements to aid in predicting the outcomes of Nasal High Flow (NHF) therapy. This tool serves as a complement to traditional clinical assessment.

The F&P ROX Calculator is an intuitive resource that facilitates the calculation of a patient's ROX index. This index is derived by dividing the SpO2/FiO2 ratio by the respiratory rate, allowing for straightforward measurement and repeatability at the bedside. The ROX index can be instrumental in conjunction with clinical expertise when evaluating the necessity for mechanical ventilation following the initiation of NHF therapy. Its applicability has been substantiated in patients experiencing Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure secondary to pneumonia, with relevant studies accessible within the application.

It is crucial to note that the ROX index should not supplant standard clinical judgement.
