Spontaneous Awakening Trial (SAT) Criteria Checker

Evaluates safety criteria for spontaneous awakening trials (SAT) in mechanically ventilated ICU patients. Safety screen PASS criteria: off sedation or low infusion, no agitation (RASS ≤2), SpO2 >88%, RR <35/min, pH >7.25, FiO2 ≤0.70, PEEP ≤10 cmH2O. FAIL criteria: active seizures, alcohol withdrawal, elevated ICP, open abdomen, ongoing NMB. SAT followed by SBT improves extubation rates and reduces ICU LOS.

How to use this calculator

  1. 1

    Enter patient clinical data

    Enter the patient's age, weight, lab values, vitals, or clinical findings into the Spontaneous Awakening Trial (SAT) Criteria Checker input fields.

  2. 2

    Select the clinical scoring system

    Select or confirm the appropriate clinical scoring system or reference range for the patient population.

  3. 3

    Calculate the clinical score

    Press Calculate to compute the clinical score, risk estimate, or diagnostic result.

  4. 4

    Interpret the result

    Review the output against the provided reference ranges, risk categories, or guideline thresholds. Consult a qualified clinician before acting on results.

Formula

Result = f(patient inputs, clinical reference)

patient inputs
Age, weight, height, lab values, vitals, or clinical findings entered into the SAT Criteria.
clinical reference
Reference range, scoring system, or population standard the result is compared against.
Result
Computed clinical score, risk estimate, or diagnostic value.

Clinical results are decision-support only and must be interpreted by a qualified clinician.

Glossary and Definitions

Clinical score
A numeric value derived from patient inputs that estimates risk, severity, or diagnostic likelihood for a given condition.
Reference range
The set of values considered normal for a healthy population, used to interpret a calculated result.
Sensitivity
The probability that a positive result correctly identifies a patient with the condition.
Specificity
The probability that a negative result correctly identifies a patient without the condition.
