Few psychological treatments have been as widely heralded as EMDR. Some EMDR proponents have called it a âmiracle cureâ and âparadigm shift,â and ABC's 20/20 proclaimed it an âexciting breakthroughâ in the treatment of anxiety.
hypoxic hypoxia in Medicine. hypoxic hypoxia n. Hypoxia resulting from a defective mechanism of oxygenation in the lungs, as is caused by a low tension of oxygen, by abnormal pulmonary function, or by a right-to-left shunt in the heart. Also called anoxic anoxia.
Hypoxic hypoxia occurs when there is not enough oxygen in the air or when decreasing atmospheric pressure prevents diffusion of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream. Aviation personnel are most likely to encounter this type of hypoxia at high altitudes due to the reduction of PO2 in the atmosphere.
