POSTHYPOXIA PARADOX

Domain	Definition
Aerospace	An abrupt convulsive incident which may occur when a marked oxygen deficiency is relieved by sufficient oxygen; this is in contrast to the normal rapid recovery from lack of oxygen. Also called oxygen paradox. (references)
Medicine	A transient deterioration in the level of consciousness which occurs infrequently immediately following the relief of moderate or severe acute hypoxia by the restoration of the oxygen-tension of the inspired gas to the normal or supra-normal values. Sometimes the paradoxical reaction is manifested by a brief convulsive episode. Source: European Union. (references)
