Calculation of the OI requires arterial blood sampling which can be difficult to obtain. A non-invasive alternative, the oxygen saturation index (OSI), has shown promise, but its utility in ECMO determination is not well-described. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between the OI and OSI in neonates requiring ECMO.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We pursued a retrospective chart review of 64 neonatal ECMO patients at Kentucky Children's Hospital (2012\u20132022) and analyzed OI and OSI values in the 12\u2005h preceding ECMO initiation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A moderate correlation was observed between the OI and OSI. An OSI &amp;gt;17.41 predicted ECMO initiation, and OI can be estimated with the equation:
