Standard (non FiO2) individual NEWS2 parameters are maintained constant throughout. i) The total initial NEWS2 score (FiO2 0.21) is five due to respiratory rate of 22, heart rate 100 and 92% oxygen saturations (see left hand bars). ii) The NEWS increases to 7 at three higher FiO2 values (0.3, 0.4 or 0.5) in the bars to the right. iii) In contrast to the plateau with NEWS2, the log EWS app generates a risk of 1% on air, increasing to 3%, 7% and 28% at increasing FiO2 values of 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 respectively.
