  2. Hypoxia (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxia_(medicine)

    Hypoxemic hypoxia is a lack of oxygen caused by low oxygen tension in the arterial blood, due to the inability of the lungs to sufficiently oxygenate the blood. Causes include hypoventilation, impaired alveolar diffusion, and pulmonary shunting. [8] This definition overlaps considerably with that of hypoxic hypoxia.

  3. Generalized hypoxia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_hypoxia

    Generalized hypoxia is a medical condition in which the tissues of the body are deprived of the necessary levels of oxygen due to an insufficient supply of oxygen, which may be due to the composition or pressure of the breathing gas, decreased lung ventilation, or respiratory disease, any of which may cause a lower than normal oxygen content in the arterial blood, and consequently a reduced ...

  4. Hypoxemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxemia

    Tissue hypoxia refers to low levels of oxygen in the tissues of the body and the term hypoxia is a general term for low levels of oxygen. [2] Hypoxemia is usually caused by pulmonary disease whereas tissue oxygenation requires additionally adequate circulation of blood and perfusion of tissue to meet metabolic demands.

  5. Acute respiratory distress syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_respiratory_distress...

    Signs and symptoms may include shortness of breath, fast breathing, and a low oxygen level in the blood due to abnormal ventilation. [7] [8] Other common symptoms include muscle fatigue and general weakness, low blood pressure, a dry, hacking cough, and fever. [9]

  6. Obesity hypoventilation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_hypoventilation...

    Symptoms of this disorder occur because the heart has difficulty pumping blood from the body through the lungs. Fluid may, therefore, accumulate in the skin of the legs in the form of edema (swelling), and in the abdominal cavity in the form of ascites; decreased exercise tolerance and exertional chest pain may occur.

  7. Complications of prolonged standing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complications_of_prolonged...

    Muscles kept in a constant stress position quickly become exhausted and can result in pain and swelling in the lower back, legs, ankles and feet. [10] [11] The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has stated that muscle fatigue and musculoskeletal disorders account for "33% of all worker injury and illness". [12]

  8. Muscle fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_fatigue

    Muscle fatigue is not the same as muscle weakness, though weakness is an initial symptom. Despite a normal amount of force being generated at the start of activity, once muscle fatigue has set in and progressively worsens, if the individual persists in the exercise they will eventually lose their hand grip, or become unable to lift or push with ...

  9. Hypopnea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypopnea

    Hypopnea is overly shallow breathing or an abnormally low respiratory rate. Hypopnea is typically defined by a decreased amount of air movement into the lungs and can cause hypoxemia (low levels of oxygen in the blood.) It commonly is due to partial obstruction of the upper airway, but can also have neurological origins in central sleep apnea.
