Which type of hypoxia is it, and is there any research available on the subject?
Answer:
difference between hypoxia and hypoxemia.
Hypoxia is low oxygen levels available to the tissues, or the tissues are unable to use or receive the 02 that is available, as in sepsis, or pulmonary embolus.
Hypoxemia is low 02 concentrations in the arterial blood.
oxygen therapy could remedy hypoxemia by increasing the amount of 02 in the blood, but not fix hypoxia if the problem is using the oxygen, no matter how much is available..hope this helps.
