Abstract
Hypoxia is diminished availability of oxygen to the cells of the body. It can occur due to inadequate oxygenation of the lungs for extrinsic reasons, deficiency of oxygen in atmosphere, venous-to-arterial shunts (intrapulmonary or intracardiac), inadequate transport and delivery of oxygen, or inadequate tissue oxygenation or oxygen use. Exposure to severe hypoxia can lead to death of cells and depressed mental activity. Sometimes it culminates in coma and reduced work capacity of the muscles. Hypoxia occurs most commonly in people traveling to high altitude, or performing strenuous exercise or work for prolonged periods of time at high altitudes. Another population at risk is combatants such as fighter pilots who undertake high G maneuvers.
