Apparent death, or suspended animation; the condition which results from interruption of respiration, as in suffocation or drowning, or the inhalation of poisonous or irrespirable gases.
unconsciousness due to interference with the oxygen supply of the blood
Too little oxygen and too much carbon dioxide in the blood, causing the baby to suffocate.
Condition resulting from insufficient intake of oxygen: symptoms include breathing difficulty, impairment of senses, and, in extreme, convulsions, unconsciousness and death.
a condition in which insufficient or no oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged on a ventilatory basis; caused by choking or drowning or electric shock or poison gas
Deprivation of oxygen, often through near drowning or smoke inhalation.
Suffocation, which can be caused by choking on an object, by lack of oxygen in the air, or by chemicals such as carbon monoxide, which reduce the amount of oxygen in the blood.
lack of oxygen or inability of cells to use oxygen; simple asphyxia is suffocation caused by a lack of oxygen in the inhaled air; chemical asphyxia poisons the blood's ability to carry oxygen or the cell's ability to use oxygen.
Lack of oxygen due to trouble with breathing or poor oxygen supply in the air.
Condition caused by poor oxygen intake when breathing.
Lack of oxygen and interference with oxygenation of the blood. Can lead to unconsciousness.
A lack of oxygen in the blood; suffocation.
Lack of oxygen, unconsciousness, death. Caused by drowning, electric shock, aspiration of vomitus, foreign body in the respiratory tract, toxic gas or smoke, poisoning.
a condition of impaired gas exchange which leads, if persistant, to hypoxemia and hypercapnia; process is identified by fetal acidosis (as measured in umbilical arterial blood), which reflects the degree of anaerobic metabolism required during periods of hypoxia or increased oxygen demand
Lack of sufficient oxygen and circulation of the blood resulting in possible brain damage and a loss of consciousness.
Lack of proper blood flow and oxygen.
Suffocation, decrease in the oxygen content, and increase in carbon dioxide content of the blood. Term includes all causes of tissue hypoxia, including exposure to asphyxiant gases (low O2), narcotic gases such as CO and HCN.
Lack of oxygen. Asphyxia is one of the leading causes of brain damage in newborns that leads to Cerebral Palsy.
Unconsciousness due to oxygen deprivation at the central nervous system.
suffocation: a life-threatening condition in which oxygen is prevented from reaching the tissues by obstruction of or damage to any part of the respiratory system.
a general term used to describe inadequate intake of oxygen.
Asphyxia (from Greek a-, "without" and sphuxis, "pulse, heartbeat") is a condition of severely deficient supply of oxygen to the body that arises from being unable to breathe normally. Asphyxia causes generalized hypoxia, which primarily affects the tissues and organs most sensitive to hypoxia first, such as the brain, hence resulting in cerebral hypoxia. Asphyxia is usually characterized by air hunger but this is not always the case; the urge to breathe is triggered by rising carbon dioxide levels in the blood rather than diminishing oxygen levels.
