Hypoxia / Anoxia
Definition : Decrease oxygen level in blood or inadequate supply of oxygen to the tissues by the blood are known as Hypoxia.
Causes :
- Oxygen tension in arterial blood.
- Oxygen carrying capacity of blood.
- Velocity of blood.
- Utilization of oxygen by the cell.
Classification :
1. Hypoxic hypoxia / Arterial hypoxia: low oxygen tension in arterial blood.
2. Anemic hypoxia : low oxygen content of blood due to...
I. Lack of Hb.
II. CO poisoning.
3. Stagnant hypoxia / Hypokinetic hypoxia: decrease rate of blood flow due to its velocity.
4. Histotoxic hypoxia : tissue are unable to use oxygen.
Effects of hypoxia:
1. On nervous system -
i. Dullness.
ii. Dizziness.
iii. Confusion.
iv. Convulsion.
2. On digestive system:
i. Nausea.
ii. Vomitting.
iii. Vertigo.
iv. Loss of appitite.
3. On circulatory system:
i. Increase heart rate.
ii. Increase cardiac output.
iii. Increase blood pressure.
iv. Cyanosis.
4. On respiratory system:
