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.
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.
