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.
cerebral hypoxia
Cerebral hypoxia can cause hallucinations, amnesia,memory loss, and muscle spasms since the brain receives less oxygen.
Cerebral hypoxia
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
The hypoxia associated with high altitude can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and difficulty sleeping. In severe cases, high altitude hypoxia can lead to altitude sickness, pulmonary edema, or cerebral edema, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
Diffuse cerebral hypoxia (DCH) is limited to conditions that cause mild to moderate hypoxemia, or low arterial-oxygen content due to deficient blood oxygenation.
Possible causes of hypoxia include high altitudes, lung diseases (such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), heart conditions (such as heart failure), anemia, carbon monoxide poisoning, and suffocation.
Hypoxia can occur in healthy people when they ascend to high altitudes.
Hypoxia has many different effects of the human body. Some of which include: nausea, headaches, faintness, extreme lethargy and brain dysfunction.
Oxygen relieves hypoxia.
Hypoxia can be treated with oxygen therapy
Cheyne-Stokes respiration. It is a pattern of breathing characterized by alternating periods of deep, rapid breathing followed by periods of shallow, slow breathing or even temporary cessation of breathing. This respiratory pattern is typically observed in patients with severe brain damage or neurological disorders affecting the brainstem.
