Assessing for adequate oxygenation for weaning from mechanical ventilation can include which of the following?
I.PEEP less than or equal to 5-8 cm H₂O
II.FIO₂ greater than or equal to 0.6
III.PaO₂/FIO₂ greater than 150-200

Adequate oxygenation (e.g.,PaO₂/FIO₂ > 150-200; requiring positive end-expiratory pressure [PEEP] < or = 5-8 cm H₂O; FIO₂ < or = 0.4-0.5)and pH (e.g.,> or = 7.25)
