Anoxemia

Anoxemia is a pathological condition characterized by insufficient oxygen content in the arterial blood.

The word "anoxemia" comes from the Greek words "an-" - denial, "oxygenium" - oxygen and "haema" - blood.

Anoxemia occurs when the delivery of oxygen to the blood from the lungs is impaired or when oxygen utilization by tissues is impaired.

The causes of anoxemia may be:

1. Diseases of the respiratory system (pneumonia, bronchial asthma, etc.)

2. Cardiovascular diseases

3. Anemia

4. Carbon monoxide poisoning

5. Staying in high altitudes

6. Mechanical obstructions to breathing

Clinical manifestations of anoxemia: cyanosis, shortness of breath, tachycardia, headache, weakness, drowsiness.

Diagnosis is based on determining the oxygen content in the blood.

Treatment of anoxemia consists of eliminating the causes leading to hypoxia and supplying oxygen.

Anoxemia is the medical term for low oxygen levels in the blood. Anexia means a decrease in oxygen in the blood below normal, and anepsychia is a rare hereditary blood disease in which problems occur in the production of hemoglobin and the transfer of free oxygen.
