Q

Hypoxia

A

Hypoxic hypoxia, not enough oxygen, i.e. reduced pressure @ high alts, Anemic (hypemic) hypoxia, blood cant give enough oxygen to cells= deficiency in oxygen-carrying capacity of blood, not the result of too little inhaled oxygen, i.e. Carbon monoxide poisoning/ reduced blood volume as a result of blood donation,
Stagnant hypoxia when oxygen-rich blood in the lungs is still, i.e. shock, reduced circulation due to extreme cold, or pulling excessive Gs, Histotoxic hypoxia is the inability of cells to effectively use oxygen, i.e. alcohol/ drugs,
Symptoms = initial feeling of euphoria, then headache, delayed reaction time, visual impairment, and unconsciousness, treat by lowering alt/ using oxygen mask
