Tissues vary considerably in their sensitivity to hypoxia. Neurological cells tolerate hypoxia for only a few minutes. whereas bladder smooth muscle may survive for several days. without oxygen. This has important implications in the. management of oxygen transport and monitoring of tissue. hypoxia in critically ill patients. Oxygen transport. Delivery to organs and tissues. The mechanisms controlling oxygen distribution are. incompletely understood but involve a series of convective and. diffusive processes.
