13. 
    hypoxia
    the diminution, but not total absence, of oxygen in the cells and tissues of the body, due to poor ventilation or loss of blood. A greater amount of oxygen loss is anoxia, and total loss is asphyxia Category: Management in the public and private sector • (lack of oxygen leading to unconsciousness) Category: Medicine

    Hypoxia
    `Hypoxia` literally means `deficient in oxygen.` It can refer to: * Hypoxia (medical), a shortage of oxygen in the body. `Hypoxaemia` is the reduction of oxygen specifically in the blood; `anoxia` is when there is no oxygen available at all. ** Environmental hypoxia, a condition in high altitudes such as mountains where the reduced partial pressure of oxygen available leads to hypoxia. ** Ischemia, a restriction in blood supply (and therefore ox...
