| description | The arterial/alveolar oxygen tension ratio, also known as a/APO2, is a measure of gas-exchange. While it was originally believed to be less affected by the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) compared to other measures such as the alveolar-arterial oxygen tension difference (PAO2-PaO2), the a/APO2 has been found to be somewhat dependent on FiO2, especially with higher degrees of pulmonary shunting.

| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||

| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | ||
