Definition: Hypoxia |
HypoxiaNoun1. A very strong drive resulting from a deficiency of available oxygen in the blood and bodily tissues (short of anoxia). Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Copyright © 2001 by Princeton University. All rights reserved. |
| Domain | Definitions |
Aerospace | Oxygen want or deficiency; any state wherein a physiologically inadequate amount of oxygen is available to, or utilized by, tissue without respect to cause or degree. Compare anoxia. (references) |
Agriculture | A low oxygen condition in the water that may occur where a nutrient-laden free-flowing body of water (like a river) enters a lake or ocean. The high nutrient content promotes rapid growth of plankton/phytoplankton that subsequently die and, in the process, consume large amounts of oxygen (see biochemical oxygen demand). While fish and shrimp can migrate away from a hypoxic area, less mobile bottom-dwelling organisms are unable to escape. A Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient Talk Force under the leadership of the Environmental Protection Agency (comprised of representatives from the scientific, economic, ecological and agricultural communities) is investigating the recurring and increasingly large hypoxia problem at the mouth of the Mississippi River. Currently, scientists believe nitrogen making its way into tributaries that flow into the Mississippi River, and eventually the Gulf of Mexico, causes the hypoxia condition. (references) |
Health | Reduction of oxygen supply to tissue below physiological levels despite adequate perfusion of the tissue by blood. (references) |
Public Administration | The diminution, but not total absence, of oxygen in the cells and tissues of the body, due to poor ventilation or loss of blood. A greater amount of oxygen loss is anoxia, and total loss is asphyxia. Source: European Union. (references) |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Hypoxia is often associated with high altitudes, where it is called altitude sickness.
Symptoms of generalized hypoxia depend on its severity and speed of onset. They include headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, unsteadiness, and sometimes even seizures and coma.
