Q

What is the mechanism of injury for Hypoxic-hypotensive Brain injury?

A
  • Cerebral hypoxia: deprivation of oxygen to brain
  • Cerebral hypotension : inadequate perfusion / not enough blood flow

-For types:
Anoxic anoxia: cause by drowning
Anemic anoxia: blood loss severe anemia,
Stagnant hypoxia: reduction of blood flow , cardiac arrest
Toxic hypoxia : toxins such as poisining

Q

Brain Injury… (incidence/statistics)

A
