Ultrasound and pulse oximetry, however, may be available in these settings. This study was designed to test whether pulmonary ultrasound and pulse oximetry could be used in place of traditional radiographic and oxygenation evaluation for ARDS.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This study was a prospective, single-center study in the ICU of Harborview Medical Center, a referral hospital in Seattle, Washington, USA. Bedside pulmonary ultrasound was performed on ICU patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation. Pulse oximetric oxygen saturation (SpO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>), partial pressure of oxygen (PaO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>), fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>), provider diagnoses, and chest radiograph closest to time of ultrasound were recorded or interpreted.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>One hundred and twenty three ultrasound assessments were performed on 77 consecutively enrolled patients with respiratory failure.

The sensitivity and specificity of the previously reported threshold of SpO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\/FiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\u2009\u2264\u2009315 for PaO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\/FiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\u2009\u2264\u2009300 was 83\u00a0% (95\u00a0% confidence interval (CI) 68\u201393), and 50\u00a0% (95\u00a0% CI 1\u201399), respectively.

For pulmonary ultrasound assessments interpreted by the study physician, the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound interstitial syndrome bilaterally and involving at least three lung fields were 80\u00a0% (95\u00a0% CI 63\u201392) and 62\u00a0% (95\u00a0% CI 49\u201374) for radiographic criteria for ARDS. Combining SpO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\/FiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> with ultrasound to determine oxygenation and radiographic criteria for ARDS, the sensitivity was 83\u00a0% (95\u00a0% CI 52\u201398) and specificity was 62\u00a0% (95\u00a0% CI 38\u201382).
