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.

Hypoxia can occur in healthy people when they ascend to high altitudes.
Oxygen relieves hypoxia.
Hypoxia can be treated with oxygen therapy
Hypoxia means lack of adequate oxygenation. The consequence of sustained hypoxia is, eventually, cellular death, followed by death of the entire organism.
ischemia is a result of hypoxia. hypoxia means low oxygen in the heart.
Hypoxia-->pCO2 increase-->chemoreceptors are stimulated-->VMC stimulated-->trachyarrythmia
that's case to case basis if the patient has been experiencing hypoxia for the past 5-10 mins that is very dangerous to the patient cos it may cause irreversible brain damage cos hypoxia leads to hypoxemia that's the first thing you should worry about.. and the other case is if he/she is prone or begins to hyperventilate that leads to hypoxia which in turns to hypoxemia (inadequate oxygenation of the blood) then you should first give the patient sufficient O2 to prevent or lessen the possibility of client having hypoxemia... i think when the patient is in the hypoxemic stage it is automatically severe and dangerous and it needs critical care...
What first aid procedure do i apply for someone with hypoxia?
Here are some sentences.She was suffering from hypoxia.The doctor diagnosed hypoxia.
Hypoxia is a state in which your body lacks oxygen, causing disorientation. Hypemic Hypoxia is a type of hypoxia in which the lack of oxygen is caused by an inability of your blood cells to carry oxygen. It can be caused by anemia, carbon monoxide poisoning. Hypemic means lack of blood.
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.
