Types of Hypoxia
Histoxic Hypoxia
Stagnant Hypoxia
Hypemic Hypoxia
Hypoxic Hypoxia
Hypoxic Hypoxia
commonly called altitude hypoxia
the partial pressure of oxygen gets lower and the lungs cannot effectively transfer oxygen from the ambient air to the blood to be carried to all tissues in the body
Hypemic Hypoxia
caused by the reduced ability of the blood to carry oxygen
Stagnant Hypoxia
This type of hypoxia occurs at the circulatory level. If the blood flow is compromised for any reason, then sufficient oxygen cannot get to the body tissues
Histoxic Hypoxia
This type of hypoxia happens at the cell level. This means that the cell expecting and needing the oxygen is impaired and cannot use the oxygen to support metabolism
What is an incident vs a serious incident
