Abstract

Abstract

Any disorder causing hypoxia, defined as the lack of oxygen at the tissue level, is a potential indication for oxygen administration. Hypoxia can be classified as hypoxaemic or normoxic depending upon the arterial PaO2 level which is either decreased or normal, respectively. Hypoxemic hypoxia can result from decreased inspired oxygen concentration, hypoventilation, and ventilation-perfusion imbalance, Right to Left shunt or diffusion defects. On the other hand, normoxic hypoxia can result from circulatory failure, tissue poisoning, severe anemia or from an increased demand of oxygen.
