GlossaryHypoxia (Low Oxygen Conditions)

condition of insufficient oxygen reaching body tissues

Hypoxia refers to a condition where there is a deficiency of oxygen in the tissues of the body. This can occur due to various reasons such as high altitudes, respiratory diseases, or circulatory issues, and can lead to symptoms like shortness of breath, confusion, and cyanosis. For professionals, understanding the underlying cause of hypoxia is crucial for effective treatment, as it can impact cellular metabolism and organ function.
