Table 1. Timeline of laboratory results and organ support.

INR: International normalized ratio; pCO2: partial pressure of carbon dioxide; pO2: partial pressure of oxygen; HCO3-: Bicarbonate; FiO2: partial pressure of carbon dioxide; PEEP: partial pressure of carbon dioxide; PaO2/FiO2: ratio of partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) to the fraction of inspiratory oxygen concentration (FiO2)
