Enter the Mean Airway Pressure (MAP) in cmH₂O
Enter the FiO₂ as a percentage (21–100)
Enter the PaO₂ in mmHg from the ABG
Click 'Calculate OI' to get the Oxygenation Index and severity grade
Formula: OI = (MAP × FiO₂ × 100) / PaO₂
OI < 5: Normal or mild impairment
OI 5–10: Mild ARDS
OI 10–20: Moderate ARDS — consider prone positioning
OI ≥ 20: Severe ARDS — consider ECMO referral
