Definition of Hypoxia. Hypoxia literally means low oxygen, but is defined as a deficiency in the amount of oxygen that reaches the tissues of the body. It differs from hypoxemia, which means an inadequate amount of oxygen traveling in the blood.
anemic hypoxia hypoxia due to reduction of the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood as a result of a decrease in the total hemoglobin or an alteration of the hemoglobin constituents. 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.
