According to the AARC Clinical Practice Guidelines on Weaning and Discontinuation on Ventilatory Support,adequate patient oxygenation criteria for weaning is measured by
I.PaO₂ greater than 60 mm Hg
II.FIO₂ set less than 0.4
III.PEEP zero
IV.PO₂/FIO₂ ratio greater than 150-300

Objective Measurements used as Criteria in Weaning/Discontinuation include: Adequate oxygenation (e.g.,PO₂ = 60 mmHg on FiO₂ = 0.4; PEEP = 5 - 10 cmH2O; PO₂/FiO₂ = 150 - 300).
