Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of death and disability internationally. Alveolar hypoxia and consequent hypoxemia increase in prevalence as disease severity increases.
1. low oxygen level in the blood. Hypoxemia can cause hypoxia (hypoxemic hypoxia), but hypoxia can also occur via other mechanisms, such as anemia. Informally, hypoxemic hypoxia is sometimes called hypoxic hypoxia. 2. reduced partial pressure of oxygen (mm Hg) in arterial blood.
