A-a Oxygen Gradient

Pa_O₂ (partial pressure of arterial O₂):	mmHg
Pa_CO₂ (partial pressure of arterial CO₂):	mmHg
Atmospheric Pressure:
Inspired Oxygen Concentration (Fi_O₂):	Room Air (21 percent) Other:

A-a Gradient =	mmHg

 

            A-a (O₂) = (Fi_O₂%/100) * (P_atm - 47 mmHg) - (Pa_CO₂/0.8) - 
            Pa_O₂ 

            (all units mmHg)
