Hypoxia is low oxygen supply to the body's tissues/cells.
Many underlying conditions could cause insufficient oxygen supply.
These conditions usually affect the red blood cells (the 'carriers' of oxygen). Apart from heavy or prolonged bleeding, where red blood cells are lost, - either red blood cells aren't produced enough, or they are destroyed more quickly then could be produced.

The treatment for hypoxia involves providing oxygen therapy to increase the oxygen levels in the body. In severe cases, a person may require a ventilator to help with breathing. Identifying and addressing the underlying cause of hypoxia is also important for effective treatment.
