Hypoxemia, also known as Hypoxia, is a condition in which there is an inadequate supply of oxygen in the blood. The causes of it could be: * A reduction in partial pressure of oxygen * Inadequate oxygen transport * The inability of the tissues to use oxygen

How many categories of cerebral hypoxia are there?
There are four categories of cerebral hypoxia; in order of severity they are: diffuse cerebral hypoxia (DCH), focal cerebral ischemia, cerebral infarction, and global cerebral ischemia.
what is diffusion hypoxia?
Diffuse cerebral hypoxia (DCH) is limited to conditions that cause mild to moderate hypoxemia, or low arterial-oxygen content due to deficient blood oxygenation.
What is diffuse cerebr?
Diffuse cerebral hypoxia (DCH) is limited to conditions that cause mild to moderate hypoxemia, or low arterial-oxygen content due to deficient blood oxygenation.
What has caused every human death?
cerebral hypoxia
Does Hypoxia cause hallucinations?
Cerebral hypoxia can cause hallucinations, amnesia,memory loss, and muscle spasms since the brain receives less oxygen.
What is moderate diffuse cerebral volume loss?
Moderate diffuse cerebral volume loss means the brain has shrunk in size. This result is determined by a doctor after an MRI has been performed on the patient.
What is death of brain neurons which results from a sudden cessation of oxygen delivery called?
Cerebral hypoxia
Possible causes of hypoxia include?
Cardiac arrest is the most common condition that causes cerebral hypoxia. When the heart stops pumping, oxygen-rich blood cannot be delivered to vital organs such as the brain. Hypoxia to the brain causes irreversible brain damage after two minutes.
What is mild diffuse cerebral and cerebellum volume loss and T2 hyperintesnity within the periventricular white matter?
Mild diffuse cerebral and cerebellum volume loss and T2 hyperintensity within the periventricular white matter refers to a stroke. This can cause a slight decrease in the white matter of the brain.
What does global cerebral volume loss mean?
Moderate diffuse cerebral volume loss means the brain has shrunk in size. This result is determined by a doctor after an MRI has been performed on the patient.
What does prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci mean?
It's a sign of (severe) cerebral atrophy. It's being seen on CT or/and MRI scans of the brain. Generalized sulcal prominence diffusely is consistent with diffuse brain atrophy.
What is the sentence for hypoxia?
Hypoxia can occur in healthy people when they ascend to high altitudes.
