description

The implications of oxygen for medicine are basically of two kinds. First, there is the continued need by human tissues for an adequate supply of dioxygen; if that is not met, a condition called hypoxia may arise, with serious medical consequences. There are a wide number of causes for hypoxia, and a variety of medical responses.
