The management of patients suffering from acute respiratory failure (ARF) poses substantial challenges, particularly when it comes to selecting optimal treatment methods and making timely adjustments to both invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation parameters. This complexity can be especially pronounced for less experienced practitioners. The effectiveness of high-cost ventilators is contingent not only on their availability but also on the operator's skill, as evidenced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In global clinical settings, the oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) is a crucial metric for assessing ARF severity and is integrated into many severity scoring systems, including SOFA and APACHE II-III. However, measuring PaO2 requires arterial blood sampling for blood gas analysis, which can be invasive and cumbersome.
