The P/F ratio equals the arterial pO2 (“P”) from the ABG divided by the FIO2 (“F”) – the fraction (percent) of inspired oxygen that the patient is receiving expressed as a decimal (40% oxygen = FIO2 of 0.40). A P/F Ratio less than 300 indicates acute respiratory failure.
How do you calculate ARDS?
The severity of the ARDS is defined by the degree of hypoxemia, which is calculated as the ratio of arterial oxygen tension to fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2).

How to Calculate FIO2 from Liters. Example: A patient has a pO2 of 85mmHg on ABG while receiving 5 liter/minute of oxygen. 5 L/min = 40% oxygen = FIO2 of 0.40, the P/F ratio = 85 divided by 0.40 = 212.5.
