Hypoxia Knowledge Base
What is hypoxia and why did my eye dr. say I might have a slight case? I went to the eye doctor and he made the comment to the contact lense lady that I have a slight case of hypoxia. When I looked it up online, it had to do with lack of oxygen to the body, but how does that affect my eyes? I have no known health problems (relating to breathing) or anything, but he made the comment about me wearing my contacts while asleep and such. What is it and how does it affect my eyes?
What is it like to be in a hypoxia chamber? I have the opportunity to simulate what its like to be at 30,000 ft with no oxygen mask. My school currently has one for demonstration and since im in an aviation career field, I'd like to try it out. However, I don't know what to expect and I've heard some crazy stuff. Will I forget to put the oxygen mask on? Will I feel sick during/afterwards?

is there a good site to find out about copd with acute hypoxia? could it be called something else? pt had trach/peg and went on a vent for 12 days and just got off he has a history of emphysema but was diagnosed with COPD. AcuteRespFailure was going to be my med diagnosis for what happened. Does that make sense im not sure if he will be discharged home or to subacute ecf assisted living or rehab
why no changes in partial pressure of oxygen in the case of anemia hypoxia? The hypoxemia definition as decreased partial pressure of oxygen excludes decreased oxygen content caused by anemia (decreased content of oxygen binding protein hemoglobin) or other primary hemoglobin deficiency, because they don't decrease the partial pressure of oxygen in blood. this is from wiki.. correct me if I'm wrong. 1) The Hb are independent towards partial pressure of oxygen. but why is that, since Hb decrease,less amount of oxygen carried.but no difference in partial pressure?
Has anyone had a premie with Hypoxia? One of my twins, who were born at 28-29 weeks, is diagnosed with Hypoxia. The doctor explained it to me, and I kinda understand it. Anyone that's kid has had this before, did they survive? The doctors said they don't want to say whether or not he will live or not because its so unpredictable. And if you are one of those haters that don't believe me, don't even comment. It's not visiting Hours at the NICU here.
how long does hypoxia need to last to cause damage? multiple episodes lasting a few minutes not taking in any more air unable to move/speak excrutiating pain fully conscious..most times near loss of consciousness 1x we have no way of telling what the saturation was..bp is fine 20 years since last incident how long does it take O2 sats to drop significantly when no more O2 is being taken in (trapped under water for example)
Does anyone know how hypoxia at birth could effect a child? MY son wasnt breathing when he was born ,the hospital gave me dia morphine when i was in labour and it stopped his heart. he has slurred speach and although he can walk it just doesnt look right like, he goes up on his toes alot and doesnt have good balance . The doctors say he has a global developmental delay. does anyone have any information that might help me?
my husband has been told he is hypoxic following a bout of pneumonia. what else might cause this hypoxia? the hosp consultant told him if his blood gas levels do not improve next time he goes to see him then they will have to look for another cause for the hypoxia not the pneumonia. he mentioned among other things leukemia but my husband can't remember what else was mentioned. any ideas? my husband was in hospital two years ago and was told his oxygen sats were low but nothing was done to follow this up. he has not felt completely well since this time. he has been diagnosed with sarcoidosis(levels under control at the moment) and also oesophageal spasms.
How do you treat Hypoxia? In Math the other day, I was feeling dizzy and the world was blurring slightly and I couldn't pay attention. I researched it and found out that it sounded like Hypoxia (I had been holding my breath for long periods before, so it makes sense) I was just wondering, if it happened again, what to do?
does this sound like tissue hypoxia? for the past 2 years on and off i have been experiencing a sensation of numbness in the lip area and the face. during the same few moments my left wrist will drop and my left hand becomes totally useless. for about 60 seconds, i am unable to do anything. occasionally (not every time) during this "episode" i will also need to slide to the floor to keep from falling because i see stars and kaledoscope type things and my legs start wobbling. the doc does not know but my friend says it has something to do with my pressure and raising my arms over my head. but in the market the other day, i was only opening the freezer door and reaching at waist length to get some boca burgers. i was not rising from a sitting to standing posistion either. i am on blood pressure meds for 5 years, in my 30s, 5'5" and 116 pounds and i'm not diabetic. have already had carotid US and the other tests mentioned. other than going for yearly visits to cardiologist, docs have given me no answers. MRI shows demyelination only.
Hypoxia kitten? Any information and Tips?? euter surgery) and he is much better than he was a few days ago. He is eating a little and drinking a little. When I let him up to walk he kind of stumbles and walks until he runs into stuff. I really don't know what to do and could anybody tell me what to do to help him? He doesn't use the rest room on his own or anything and I want to know any way to make him more comfortable. What bad signs to look for? What are the normal actions of a cat recovering from hypoxia. I have already taken him to the vet 3 times and he was seen by the second time by a doctor who told me he had hypoxia and he was recovering from it. He went in to get neutered and his heart stopped during the surgery. Then he stopped breathing and They said that he was without oxygen just long enough for them to put the tube in which was at the most 5 minutes. He was a healthy and wonderful kitten up until this
