Q

3 injuries following hypoxia

A
  1. 02 therapy - high levels of 02 are needed acutely to keep the patient alive. However, high
    levels of 02 radicals are also produced and have toxic effects on cells - especially in the lung.
  2. Acute inflammation - PMNs have enzymes such as myeloperoxidase which produce oxygen
    radicals. Many hypoxic tissues are infiltrated with PMNs.
  3. Reperfusion - In hypoxia, xanthine dehydrogenase is proteolytically converted to xanthine
    oxidase. Once the hypoxia is corrected, the xanthine oxidase produces activated oxygen species.
