FiO2, in the field of medicine, is the percentage or fraction of inspired oxygen in a gas mixture. 20.9 percentage of oxygen in the normal natural air, which is equal to FiO2 of 0.209. FiO2 is the ventilator parameter which helps to measure the percentage of oxygen delivered to the patient. Simply input the child's weight (in kg), his or her respiratory rate, the current O2 flow rate and percent O2 at the blender and the FiO2 estimation calculator automatically displays the estimated FiO2.
