 Hypoxia, condition of the body in which the
tissues are starved
of oxygen. In its extreme form, where oxygen is
entirely absent, the condition is called anoxia.
 There are four types of hypoxia:
 (1)Hypoxemic type, in which the oxygen
pressure in the blood going to the tissues is too
low to saturate the hemoglobin;
 (2)Anemic type, in which the amount of
functional hemoglobin is too small, and hence
the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen is too
low;
 3) Stagnant type, in which the blood is or may
be normal but the flow of blood to the tissues
is reduced or unevenly distributed; and
 (4)Histotoxic type, in which the tissue cells are
poisoned and are therefore unable to make
proper use of oxygen.
 Diseases of the blood, the heart and
circulation, and the lungs may all produce
some form of hypoxia.
⦁ The hypoxemic type of hypoxia is due to
one of two mechanisms:
⦁ (1) a decrease in the amount of breathable
oxygen—often encountered in pilots,
mountain climbers, and people living at
high altitudes —due to the reduced
barometric pressure (see altitude sickness),
or
(2) cardiopulmonary failure in which the
lungs are unable to efficiently transfer
oxygen from the alveoli to the blood.
⦁ In the case of anemic hypoxia, either the total
amount of hemoglobin is too small to supply
the body’s oxygen needs, as in anemia or
after severe bleeding, or hemoglobin that is
present is rendered nonfunctional.
⦁ Examples of the latter case are carbon
monoxide poisoning and metho-globinuria, in
both of which the hemoglobin is so altered
by toxic agents that it becomes unavailable
for oxygen transport, and thus of no
respiratory value.
• Stagnant hypoxia, in which blood flow
through the capillaries is insufficient to
supply the tissues, may be general or
local.
• If general, it may result from heart
disease that impairs the circulation,
impairment of veinous return of blood,
or trauma that induces shock.
• Local stagnant hypoxia may be due to
any condition that reduces or prevents
the circulation of the blood in any area
of the body.
⦁ In histotoxic hypoxia the cells of the body are
unable to use the oxygen, although the
amount in the blood may be normal and under
normal tension.
⦁ Although characteristically produced by
cyanide, any agent that decreases cellular
respiration may cause it.
⦁ Some of these agents are narcotics, alcohol,
formaldehyde, acetone, and certain anesthetic
agents.
⦁ Hypoxemia is an inadequate partial pressure
of oxygen in arterial blood.
• Hypoxemia has many causes,
often respiratory disorders, and can cause
tissue hypoxia as the blood is not supplying
enough oxygen to the body.
• Extreme hypoxia can be called anoxia,
extreme hypoxemia can be called anoxemia
⦁ Hypoxemia is usually defined in
terms of reduced partial pressure
of oxygen (mm Hg) in arterial
blood when the partial pressure of
oxygen in blood is less than 60 mm
Hg, then hemoglobin oxygen
saturation is less than 90%.
• Hypoxemia refers to low oxygen in the
blood, and the more general term hypoxia
is an abnormally low oxygen content in any
tissue or organ, or the body as a whole.
• Hypoxemia can cause hypoxia (hypoxemic
hypoxia), but hypoxia can also occur via
other mechanisms, such
as anemia.
• There are 5 phyiological causes of
⦁ HIGH ALTITUDE
⦁ DIFFUSION
⦁ HYPOVENTILATION
⦁ SHUNTING
⦁ VENTILATION-PERFUSION MISMATCH
⦁ Use of pulse oximeter for early detection
desaturation
⦁ Check a-b-c
⦁ Increase inspired oxygen saturation by 100%
⦁ Check the integrity of the breathing system by manual
ventilation of the lungs
⦁ Confirm the position and potency of the tube
⦁ Check bilateral chest movement and breathing sounds
⦁ Peep for gentle lung hyperinflation
⦁ Measure and stabilize core temperature
Purpose
Oxygen therapy isa key treatment
inrespiratory care.
Thepurpose istoincrease oxygen
saturationintissueswherethe
saturationlevels are too low
due to illnessor injury.
oxygen therapy isused to treat
Example incase :-
Documented hypoxemia
Severe respiratorydistress(acute asthma
or pneumonia)
Severe trauma
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD, including chronic bronchitis,
emphysema, and chronic asthma)
oxygen therapy isused to
treat
Pulmonary hypertension
Acute myocardial infarction (heart
attack)
Short-termtherapy, such as post-
anesthesia recovery
Oxygen may also be used totreat
chronic lung disease patientsduring
exercise .
Preparation
• A physician's order isrequired for
oxygen therapy, except inemergency
use.
• Clinical observations.
• indicated inArtialBlood
