2. 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.

3. Hypoxia (medicine) - Wikipedia

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

   Tissue hypoxia from low oxygen delivery may be due to low haemoglobin concentration (anaemic hypoxia), low cardiac output (stagnant hypoxia) or low haemoglobin saturation (hypoxic hypoxia). [79] The consequence of oxygen deprivation in tissues is a switch to anaerobic metabolism at the cellular level.

4. Oxygen saturation (medicine) - Wikipedia

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

   Normal arterial blood oxygen saturation levels in humans are 96–100 percent. [1] If the level is below 90 percent, it is considered low and called hypoxemia . [ 2 ] Arterial blood oxygen levels below 80 percent may compromise organ function, such as the brain and heart, and should be promptly addressed.

5. Obesity hypoventilation syndrome - Wikipedia

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

   In some occasions, the oxygen levels are persistently too low (oxygen saturations below 90%). In that case, the hypoventilation itself may be improved by switching from CPAP treatment to an alternate device that delivers "bi-level" positive pressure: higher pressure during inspiration (breathing in) and a lower pressure during expiration ...

   To date, Dr. Uppal says he’s overseen the treatment of more than 300 Covid-19 patients, all with varying levels of blood oxygen. ... (A similar term, hypoxemia, means low oxygen levels in the ...

7. 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 ...
