A-a Gradient Calculator

Calculate A-a Gradient









Formula

The formula to calculate the A-a Gradient is:

\[ \text{A-a Gradient} = (FiO2 \times (Patm - PH2O) - \frac{PaCO2}{0.8}) - PaO2 \]

Where:

Definition

Example

Let's say the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) is 0.21, the atmospheric pressure (Patm) is 760 mmHg, the partial pressure of water (PH2O) is 47 mmHg, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO2) is 40 mmHg, and the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) is 100 mmHg. Using the formula:

\[ \text{A-a Gradient} = (0.21 \times (760 - 47) - \frac{40}{0.8}) - 100 \]

We get:

\[ \text{A-a Gradient} \approx -0.27 \]

So, the A-a gradient is approximately -0.27.
