Figure 6From: Early hemoperfusion with an immobilized polymyxin B fiber column eliminates humoral mediators and improves pulmonary oxygenationRelationship between the PaO2/FiO2 ratio and IL-8. There was an inverse relationship between the arterial oxygen tension (PaO2)/fractional inspired oxygen (FiO2) ratio (P/F ratio) and peripheral blood IL-8 level. The correlation coefficient between the log-transformed PaO2/FiO2 ratio and log-transformed IL-8 value was -0.417 (P = 0.0032).Back to article page
