HYPOXIA Hypoxia a Condition Resulting from Insufficient Supply of Tissues of the Body with Oxygen and / Or Violation of Its Assimilation During Biological Oxidation HYPOXIA Hypoxia a condition resulting from insufficient supply of tissues of the body with oxygen and / or violation of its assimilation during biological oxidation. A synonym for "hypoxia" are "oxygen starvation" and "hypoxia." In other cases terminological element oxy interpreted as referring to the oxidation (from the English oxydation - oxidation). In this embodiment, the term "hypoxia" is used in a broad sense: Hypoxia a typical pathological process that develops as a result of failure of biological oxidation, which leads to disruption of energy supply functions and plastic processes in the body. Such an interpretation of the term "hypoxia" refers to absolute or relative deficiency of the real level of energy compared to the level of functional activity and intensity of plastic processes in organs, tissues, body. This condition leads to disruption of vital activity of the whole organism, disorders of organs and tissues. Morphological changes in them have a different scope and degree, up to cell death and destruction of non-cellular structures. Hypoxemia Hypoxia (in any version of interpretation) is often combined with hypoxemia. Hypoxemia - a decrease compared with the proper voltage levels and the oxygen content in the blood. Anoxia and anoxemia In connection with developing the problem of hypoxia in the experiment (e.g., when using preparations of isolated organs, tissue fragments or cells) commend anoxic - absence of oxygen and usually halting biooxidation - or anoxemia - lack of oxygen in the blood, used for perfusion individual organs, tissues, cells or subcellular structures. In a holistic living organism the formation of these states is impossible. The criteria for classification of hypoxia Hypoxic conditions are classified taking into account different criteria: the etiology, the severity of disorders, developmental rate and duration of hypoxia. ETIOLOGY (Petrov) According to the etiology identify several types of hypoxia, conditionally combined into two groups: exogenous (normo- and hypobaric hypoxia) and endogenous. Exogenous be normobaric and hypobaric. Endogenous can be tissue, breathing (respiratory), cardiovascular (circulatory), blood (hematic), reloading, substrate. PATHOGENESIS (A.D. Ado) 1. Hypoxia associated with the violation of external respiration (exogenous hypoxic hypoxia and respiratory type of hypoxia) 2. Hypoxia associated with the violation of internal breathing (circulatory, hemic, tissue) Severe disorders On the criterion of the severity of disorders of vital activity distinguishes between the following types of hypoxia: an easy, medium (moderate), heavy, critical (life-threatening, lethal). The main features of a particular expression (gravity) is used hypoxia following: • the degree of violation of neuro-psychic activity, • severity of disorders of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, • the amount of deviation indicators gas composition and acid base balance of blood, as well as some other factors. Rate of occurrence and duration According to the criteria of rate of occurrence and duration of hypoxic state allocate some of its varieties. Lightning Lightning hypoxia develops within a few seconds. Typically, after a few tens of seconds (within the first minute) after exposure to hypoxia causes of heavy patient's condition is detected, often serving as the reason for his death, for example, depressurization of aircraft on a large, over 9000-11 000 m altitude, or as a result of the rapid loss large amounts of blood, for example, in wounds or major arterial aneurysm rupture their walls. Acute Acute hypoxia develops within a few minutes (usually within the first hour) following exposure to hypoxia causes (e.g., as a result of acute blood loss or acute respiratory failure). Subacute Subacute hypoxia is formed within a few hours (but within the first day). Examples of such species may be hypoxic conditions, developing as a result of ingestion of methemoglobinoformation (nitrates, nitrogen oxides, and benzyl), venous bleeding slowly increasing respiratory or heart is not enough. Chronic Chronic hypoxia develops and / or lasts more than a few days (weeks, months, years), such as chronic anemia, cardiac or respiratory failure. Etiology and pathogenesis of different types of hypoxia Exogenous TYPES hypoxia Exogenous types of hypoxia include normo- and hypobaric hypoxia, the reason for their development: reducing the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) in the air enters the body. • In the normal barometric pressure talk about exogenous normobaric hypoxia. • With a decrease in barometric pressure known as hypobaric hypoxia exogenous. Normobaric exogenous hypoxia Normobaric hypoxia exogenous reasons: limiting intake of oxygen from air at normal barometric pressure. These conditions are formed when: • Finding people in the small and / or poorly ventilated space (room, mine, well, the elevator). • Violation of the regeneration air and / or supply oxygen mixture to breathe in deep and flying machines, self-contained suits (astronauts, pilots, divers, rescue workers, firefighters). • Failure to observe ventilation techniques. Hypobaric hypoxia exogenous Reasons exogenous hypobaric hypoxia: reduced barometric pressure rise to the height (a 3 000-3 500 m, where pO2 air reduced to about 100 mm Hg) or in the pressure chamber. Under these conditions may develop either a mountain or altitude or decompression sickness. Mountain sickness occurs when climbing into the mountains where the body is exposed not only to a reduced oxygen content in the air and reduced barometric pressure, but also more or less pronounced physical load, cooling, high insolation and other factors, medium and high altitudes. Altitude sickness occurs in people, raised to great heights of public aircraft, on the chairs- lifts, and when the pressure in the chamber. In these cases, the body are substantially reduced pO2 in the inspired air and the barometric pressure. Decompression sickness occurs when a sharp decrease in barometric pressure (eg due to depressurization of aircraft at an altitude of 10 000 -11 000 m). This forms a life-threatening condition characterized by mountainous and high-altitude sickness or acute fulminant. The pathogenesis of exogenous hypoxia The main pathogenesis of exogenous hypoxia (regardless of the cause) include arterial hypoxemia, hypocapnia, gas alkalosis acidosis alternated; hypotension, combined with hypoperfusion of organs and tissues. Reduced oxygen tension in the plasma of arterial blood (arterial hypoxemia) – initial and the main link exogenous hypoxia. Hypoxemia leads to a decrease in oxygen saturation of Hb total oxygen content in the blood and as a result - a violation of gas exchange and metabolism in tissues. Reducing the voltage levels of carbon dioxide (hypocapnia). It is the result of compensatory hyperventilation lungs (due to hypoxemia). The gas is the result of alkalosis hypocapnia. However, it should be remembered that the presence in the inhaled air of high carbon dioxide content (for example, when breathing in a confined space or in a production environment) exogenous hypoxemia can be combined with hypercapnia and acidosis. Moderate hypercapnia (unlike hypocapnia) does not aggravate hypoxia exogenous influences, but rather increases the blood circulation in the vessels of the brain and heart. However, a significant increase in the pCO2 in blood leads to acidosis, ion imbalance cells and biological fluids, hypoxemia, decrease in oxygen affinity of Hb and several other pathogenic effects. Reducing systemic blood pressure (hypotension), combined with tissue hypoperfusion, largely a consequence of hypocapnia. CO2 is one of the main factors of the regulation of vascular tone brain. A significant decrease in PaCO2 is a signal to the narrowing of the lumen of arterioles of the brain, the heart and reduce their blood supply. These changes are the cause of significant disorders of vital activity, including the development of syncope and coronary insufficiency (angina manifested, and sometimes - myocardial infarction). In parallel with these abnormalities are detected violations of the ion balance in cells and in body fluids: extracellular, plasma levels (hypernatremia, hypokalemia and hypocalcemia), lymph, cerebrospinal fluid. The above-described deviation can be reduced or eliminated by adding to the inspired air required (calculation) the amount of carbon dioxide. Endogenous TYPES hypoxia Endogenous hypoxic conditions in most cases are the result of pathological processes and diseases resulting in inadequate oxygen transport to the organs, the metabolism of substrates and / or the use of their tissues. Hypoxia of varying intensity and duration may also develop as a result of a sharp increase in the body's need for energy due to the significantly increased workload (eg, with a sharp increase in physical activity). However, even the maximum activation of oxygen transport and energy is produced systems are not able to eliminate the energy deficit (hypoxia overload). Respiratory hypoxia The cause respiratory (respiratory) hypoxia - lack of gas exchange in the lungs - respiratory failure. Pathogenesis The development of respiratory failure can be caused by alveolar hypoventilation, decreased blood perfusion lung violation of diffusion of oxygen through the air-blood barrier, the dissociation of ventilation-perfusion ratio. Regardless of the origin of respiratory hypoxia pathogenetic link is an initial arterial hypoxemia, is usually associated with hypercapnia and acidosis. Alveolar hypoventilation

Understanding the mechanism of these diseases paves the way for development of prophylactics/therapeutics. It is well known at cellular levels; the patho- physiology of most of the cardiovascular disease involves a complicated yet coordinated signaling networks triggered in response to either cellular or tissue levels of hypoxic milieu. Information related to types of hypoxia and signaling mechanism associated to such complications if complied and presented in a comprehensive manner shall prove relevant in proposing common therapeutic targets for wide array of cardiovascular com- plications. The relative functional roles of hypoxia-triggered signaling pathways are also an area of current research. Based upon these facts, this chapter discusses the types of hypoxia and role of hypoxia-mediated signaling pathways in various types of commonly occurring cardiovascular disorders. Keywords: hypoxia, signaling, cardiovascular disorders, thrombosis, therapeutics 1. Introduction Oxygen concentration below the tissue specific physiological levels is termed as ‘Hypoxia’. Depending upon the cause of oxygen scarcity, hypoxia can be classified into Hypoxic hypoxia (occurs due to deficiency in oxygen exchange in lungs or arises due to reduced partial pres- sure of oxygen in air), Anemic hypoxia (arises when the transport of oxygen is affected), stagnant hypoxia (due to delayed blood renewal, or insufficient blood flow) or histotoxic hypoxia (body is not able to use the available oxygen) [1].

Central nervous system ab­ normalities are frequent complications with high mortality and morbidity. Cardiac compromise may lead to dysrhythmias and cardiogenic shock. Coagulopathy in the form of disseminated intravascular coagulation or mas­ sive pulmonary hemorrhage are potentially lethal complications. Necrotizing enterocolitis, acute renal failure, and endocrine problems affecting fluid elec­ trolyte balance are likely to occur. Even the adrenal glands and pancreas are vulnerable to perinatal oxygen deprivation. The best form of management appears to be anticipation, early identification, and prevention of potential obstetrical-neonatal problems.

  • Gas Exchange in the Prone Posture
    RESPIRATORY CARE Paper in Press. Published on May 30, 2017 as DOI: 10.4187/respcare.05512 Gas Exchange in the Prone Posture Nicholas J Johnson MD, Andrew M Luks MD, and Robb W Glenny MD Introduction Overview of Gas Exchange Lung Structure Normal Exchange of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Abnormal Exchange of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Gas Exchange in the Prone Posture Under Normal Conditions Spatial Distribution of Ventilation Spatial Distribution of Perfusion Ventilation and Perfusion Matching Mechanisms by Which the Prone Posture Improves Gas Exchange in Animal Models of ARDS Additional Physiologic Effects of the Prone Posture Clinical Trials Summary The prone posture is known to have numerous effects on gas exchange, both under normal condi- tions and in patients with ARDS. Clinical studies have consistently demonstrated improvements in oxygenation, and a multi-center randomized trial found that, when implemented within 48 h of moderate-to-severe ARDS, placing subjects in the prone posture decreased mortality. Improve- ments in gas exchange occur via several mechanisms: alterations in the distribution of alveolar ventilation, redistribution of blood flow, improved matching of local ventilation and perfusion, and reduction in regions of low ventilation/perfusion ratios. Ventilation heterogeneity is reduced in the prone posture due to more uniform alveolar size secondary to a more uniform vertical pleural pressure gradient. The prone posture results in more uniform pulmonary blood flow when com- pared with the supine posture, due to an anatomical bias for greater blood flow to dorsal lung regions. Because both ventilation and perfusion heterogeneity decrease in the prone posture, gas exchange improves.

  • Some Major Points on the Causes of Hypoxia [Pdf]
    Some major points on the causes of Hypoxia, the Effects of Hyperventilation and Breath Holding Times Source Kings College London tutorials: http://www.kcl.ac.uk/teares/gktvc/vc/dental/year1/lectures/rbmsmajorpoints/hypoxiaandhyperventilation.htm The causes of hypoxia Cells use oxygen to obtain their energy and may not function adequately if their supply of oxygen is impeded; this is called hypoxia which is a contraction of hypo-oxia or low level of oxygen. Many cells can respire anaerobically but the cells in the brain cannot and they need a constant supply of oxygen. A shortage of oxygen in the brain progressively produces inappropriate behaviour, unconsciousness and death which can occur within a few minutes if the brain is completely deprived of oxygen. There are many ways in which hypoxia can be produced but they can be divided into 4 types, each of which has fairly similar effects, because of the way the body works. This handout will be mainly concerned with the causes of hypoxia and will consider the effects only briefly; a later handout will go further into the effects. Please note that the space devoted to each cause in this handout reflects the number of words needed to explain it, not its importance. Hypoxic hypoxia This unfortunately named form of hypoxia occurs when the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) is reduced so that the blood leaves the lungs without its haemoglobin being fully saturated. Hypoxic hypoxia can be produced in many ways: if there is a low partial pressure of oxygen in the inspired air, as at high altitudes, the PAO2 and the PaO2 will fall.

Effects of Smoking on Hypoxia Tolerance ORI GI NAL AR TIC LE DOI: 10.4274/hamidiyemedj.galenos.2021.29291 Hamidiye Med J 2021;2(1):37-42 Effects of Smoking on Acute Hypobaric Hypoxia Tolerance Sigara Kullanımının Akut Hipobarik Hipoksi Toleransı Üzerine Etkisi Erdinç Ercan1, Menduh Şavaş İlbasmış2, Cantürk Taşçı3 1Health Science University, Department of Aerospace Medicine, Ankara, Turkey 2Yunus Emre State Hospital, Clinic of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Eskişehir, Turkey 3Health Science University, Department of Pulmonology, Ankara, Turkey Background: Smoking may impair oxygen transport ability of blood and airway destructions might be seen in long term smokers. After 1-3 cigarette smoking, it leads to a rise in carboxyhemoglobin level in blood, and it has a negative effect such as taking extra 5,000-8,000 feet altitude. Thus, it is thought that smoking before or in-flight may contribute to altitude hypoxia. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of smoking on acute hypobaric hypoxia tolerance at 30,000 ft. simulated altitude. Materials and Methods: This study was planned prospectively, and a standardized survey that consisted of smoking status and demographic characteristics of subjects was applied before the procedures. Aircrews are exposed to high altitude during “Hypobaric Hypoxia Training” in an altitude chamber. Pulse oximeter measurements were done to analyze oxygen saturations during different stages of the hypoxia trainings. T C Results: Seventy eight male healthy aircrews were included in this study. Twenty five (32.1%) of subjects stated that they were currently smoking (4.9±2.6 years). Hypoxic pulse oximeter mean values of the Nonsmoker Group were higher than those of the Smoker Group (p>0.05).

  • Title: Recognizing Barotrauma As an Unexpected Complication of High Flow Nasal Cannula
    Title: Recognizing barotrauma as an unexpected complication of high flow nasal cannula Introduction: Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is a rare condition defined as free air in the mediastinum without an apparent trauma. It is commonly associated with barotrauma in asthma and COPD patients. High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has been routinely used for hypoxemic respiratory failure. We present a case of the development of SPM with extensive subcutaneous emphysema with the use of HFNC for hypoxic respiratory failure. Case Presentation: 78 year old Caucasian female with history of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and COPD was discharged to LTACH after prolonged hospitalization for influenza-A infection complicated by acute on chronic respiratory failure. She was started on supplemental oxygen using HFNC that was progressively increased to 60 liters/min with 100% FiO2 for persistent hypoxia. Over the next four days, she was noted to have worsening facial and neck swelling with progressive dyspnea leading to transfer to the hospital. CT scan of chest noted for extensive pneumomediastinum involving the middle and anterior mediastinum with extensive subcutaneous emphysema throughout the anterior and moderately posterior chest wall extending to lower neck. Lung parenchyma revealed underlying interstitial with patchy airspace disease without evident pneumothorax. She was started on 100% FIO2 with non- rebreather mask. For symptomatic relief, Cardiothoracic surgery performed bilateral anterior chest blowhole incisions and application of negative vacuum-assisted closure on anterior chest with dramatic improvement in subcutaneous emphysema and facial swelling with persistent pneumomediastinum. Patent’s pneumomediastinum and respiratory failure persisted with high oxygen requirement with non- rebreather mask. Due to underlying advanced lung disease and persistent respiratory failure , patient’s family opted for palliative management with comfort measure and patient was transferred to hospice care.

  • Ratio of Venous-To-Arterial PCO2 to Arteriovenous Oxygen Content
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ratio of venous‑to‑arterial PCO 2 to arteriovenous oxygen content diference during regional ischemic or hypoxic hypoxia Jihad Mallat1,2,3* & Benoit Vallet4 The purpose of the study was to evaluate the behavior of the venous‑to‑arterial CO2 tension diference (ΔPCO2) over the arterial‑to‑venous oxygen content diference (ΔO2) ratio (ΔPCO2/ΔO2) and the diference between venous‑to‑arterial CO2 content calculated with the Douglas’ equation (ΔCCO2D) over ΔO2 ratio (ΔCCO2D/ΔO2) and their abilities to refect the occurrence of anaerobic metabolism in two experimental models of tissue hypoxia: ischemic hypoxia (IH) and hypoxic hypoxia (HH). We also aimed to assess the infuence of metabolic acidosis and Haldane efects on the PCO2/CO2 content relationship. In a vascularly isolated, innervated dog hindlimb perfused with a pump‑membrane oxygenator system, the oxygen delivery (DO2) was lowered in a stepwise manner to decrease it beyond critical DO2 (DO2crit) by lowering either arterial PO2 (HH‑model) or fow (IH‑model). Twelve anesthetized and mechanically ventilated dogs were studied, 6 in each model. Limb DO2, oxygen VO˙ VO˙ consumption ( 2 ), ΔPCO2/ΔO2, and ΔCCO2D/ΔO2 were obtained every 15 min. Beyond DO2crit, 2 decreased, indicating dysoxia. ΔPCO2/ΔO2, and ΔCCO2D/ΔO2 increased signifcantly only after reaching DO2crit in both models. At DO2crit, ΔPCO2/ΔO2 was signifcantly higher in the HH‑model than in the IH‑model (1.82 ± 0.09 vs. 1.39 ± 0.06, p = 0.002). At DO2crit, ΔCCO2D/ΔO2 was not signifcantly diferent between the two groups (0.87 ± 0.05 for IH vs.
