Anoxia refers to a state of no oxygen. Therefore if someone is not getting oxygenated blood to their heart e.g. in a cardiac arrest, if left too long the normal systems of regulation in the brain cells (Na+/K+/ATPase pumps in cell membranes) break down and cause water to enter the cells and damage them, leading to a watery state known as oedema.
