circulatory hypoxia stagnant hypoxia. histotoxic hypoxia that due to impaired utilization of oxygen by tissues, as in cyanide poisoning. hypoxemic hypoxia (hypoxic hypoxia) that due to insufficient oxygen reaching the blood, as at the decreased barometric pressures of high altitudes.stagnant hypoxia that due to failure to transport sufficient oxygen because of inadequate blood flow, as in heart failure.ffinity hypoxia hypoxia resulting from failure of the hemoglobin to release oxygen to the tissues, as may occur with a left-shifted oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve.
