What Are Hypoxia Symptoms?
Hypoxia is a condition in which the body does not receive enough oxygen. It can occur as the result of long exposure to areas that are high above sea level, such as mountainous regions. Oxygen deprivation can also be caused by a variety of conditions including improperly administered anesthesia, heart attack, pneumonia, suffocation, or exposure to carbon monoxide. If symptoms of hypoxia are not recognized promptly and the tissues and organs of the body do not receive enough oxygen, it can cause serious complications like serious brain damage, which usually leads to a permanent vegetative state or death.
