Second phase
Regarding SimulResp’s prediction accuracy in specific situations,
supplemental file 5 depicted PaO2 and
PaCO2 evolution depending on the intensity of workout.
Mean differences between predicted and true blood gas were small and
correlations were good. Simulated curves in PaCO2 and
PaO2 got the same shape than true results. The gap
between predicted and true values was small (Table 2). When considering
diving situations, significant discrepancies between predicted and true
values were observed (Table 2). The gap between predicted and true
values was 5.9% for PaCO2 and 2.1% for
PaO2. Comparison between predicted and true data of
children under ventilatory support were presented in Table 3. These
results showed disagreement between predicted and true values as well as
poor correlation.
