RESP Score  
 

 
  RESP Score Interpretation

 
6 to 15 points: Risk class I with 92% survival
3 to 5 points: Risk class II with 76% survival
-1 to 2 points: Risk class III with 57% survival
-5 to -2 points: Risk class IV with 33% survival
-22 to -6 points: Risk class V with 18% survival

Notes
  • RESP: Respiratory ECMO Survival Prediction; ECMO: extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; CNS: central nervous system.

 
Equations used
 
RESPScore = AgeFactor + PaCO2Factor + PeakInspiratoryPressureFactor + Immunocomp + OnVentilatorPriorToECMO + AcutePulmonaryDisease + CNS + NonPulmInfection + NeuromuscBlock + NitricOxide + BicarbUse + CardiacArrest

 

 
Calculation Details and Variables
  • AgeFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
    • If Age ≥60 yr, AgeFactor = -3
    • Else if Age ≥50 yr, AgeFactor = -2
    • Else AgeFactor = 0.
  • PaCO2Factor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
    • If PaCO2 ≥75 mmHg, PaCO2Factor = -1
    • Else PaCO2Factor = 0.
  • PeakInspiratoryPressureFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
    • If Peak Inspiratory Pressure ≥42 cmH2O, PeakInspiratoryPressureFactor = -1
    • Else PeakInspiratoryPressureFactor = 0.
  • Equation parameters such as On Ventilator Prior To ECMO, have two or more discrete values that may be used in the calculation. The numbers in the parentheses, e.g. (3), represent the values that will be used.
