Management of Hypoxia

Share This Class:

Course Introduction

Hypoxia is a pathological condition in which the body or a part of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply to the tissue level. It can be generalized, affecting the whole body, or local, affecting a part of the body. Variations in arterial oxygen concentrations can be part of the normal physiology, for example, during strenuous physical exercise.

Course Description

This course will educate students about the signs and symptoms associated with hypoxia. It is a state of reduced oxygen pressure below a critical threshold, restricting the function of organs, tissues, and cells.

Course learning objective

  • Define and understand the basic mechanisms of hypoxia
  • Know how each of the mentioned complications can lead to the other, creating a syndrome
  • Know how to protect other from developing further complications.

Frequently used Terminology

  • Hypoxia: Hypoxia is low oxygen in the tissues when blood does not carry enough oxygen to the tissues to meet your body’s needs.

    Oxygen: A colorless, odorless reactive gas. Oxygen forms about 20 percent of the earth’s atmosphere, and is the most abundant element in the earth.

Thermography

Thermography is a method of inspecting electrical and mechanical equipment by obtaining heat distribution pictures. This inspection method is based on the fact that most components in a system show an increase in temperature when malfunctioning. The increase in temperature in an electrical circuit could be due to loose connections or a worn bearing in the case of mechanical equipment. By observing the heat patterns in operational system components, faults can be located and their seriousness evaluated.

HAND HYGIENE

Patients have rights while using health care services. Previously, many patients and health providers believed that the patient had little control over procedures performed and the way that health care was delivered. This is no longer the case; patients are now more aware of their rights regarding how their care is handled and are willing to voice their feelings when these rights are violated.
