hypoxemic

The majority of patients who report breathlessness are not hypoxemic.

Together, the mixture has less oxygen than that blood from the healthy lung alone, and so is hypoxemic.

Stage 2 the patient is tachypneic, hypocapnic and hypoxemic.

Hemoglobin has a higher affinity to carbon monoxide than oxygen, and a high reading may occur despite the patient actually being hypoxemic.

Hypoxemic hypoxia may be due to:

Informally, hypoxemic hypoxia is sometimes given as hypoxic hypoxia.

It is possible to become hypoxemic during exercise with certain lung diseases due to impaired diffusion of oxygen across the alveolar-capillary membrane.

Incorrect use of these terms can easily lead to confusion, especially as hypoxemia is among the causes of hypoxia (in hypoxemic hypoxia).

The prey usually is killed by strangulation, which can cause cerebral ischemia or asphyxia (which results in hypoxemic, or "general", hypoxia).

This equilibration does not occur when the alveolus is insufficiently ventilated, and as a consequence the blood exiting that alveolus is relatively hypoxemic.

It will be seen that hypoxemia can cause hypoxia (the hypoxemic hypoxia) along with other mechanisms (e.g. anemic hypoxia or histotoxic hypoxia).

Hypoxemic hypoxia is a state of oxygen deficiency in which the arterial content of oxygen is low because the arterial partial pressure of oxygen is low.
