A deficiency of oxygen reaching the tissues that is severe enough to damage the brain permanently.
a condition in which there is an absence of oxygen supply to an organ's tissues although there is adequate blood flow to the tissue.
A term applied to that state in which the body tissues have an inadequate supply of oxygen. This may be because the blood in the lungs does not receive enough oxygen, or because there is not enough blood to receive oxygen, or because the blood stagnates in the body. [Go to source
Deficient amount of oxygen in the tissues of a part of the body or in the bloodstream supplying such part.
Failure of oxygen supply. Anoxic damage to the brain may occur directly as a result of injury to the head or because other injuries, especially to the chest, cause interruption of the oxygen supply.
Strictly total absence of oxygen but sometimes used to mean decreased oxygen supply in tissues.
a condition where water is without or has very low levels of dissolved oxygen.
Strictly, refers to processes in an absence of oxygen. Frequently used to refer to effects where there is a very low level of oxygen present, see hypoxia.
severe hypoxia; absence of oxygen in inspired gases or in arterial blood or in the tissues
is a condition in which there is not enough oxygen for tissue oxygenation.
Oxygen deficiency in the blood cells or tissues of the body in such degree as to cause psychological and physiological disturbances. Anoxia may result from a scarcity of oxygen in the medium or from an inability of the body tissue to absorb oxygen under conditions of low ambient pressure.
Failure of oxygen to be delivered to the tissues.
Decreased oxygen delivery to a cell, resulting in possible cell death.
A lack of oxygen. Cells of the brain need oxygen to stay alive. When blood flow to the brain is reduced or when oxygen in the blood is too low, brain cells are damaged.
Oxygen is needed to breathe and for life. An absence of oxygen supply can result in a state of anoxia, which can very quickly endanger a living being's life.
the absence of dissolved oxygen; 0 mg/L DO.
Total lack of oxygen supply.
a severe lack of oxygen to the body & brain.
lack of oxygen in blood or tissues.
n. (L. an, not; and oxygen) lack of oxygen or not enough oxygen.
The absence of oxygen in water and sediments.
a deficiency of oxygen, especially of such severity as to result in permanent damage
Condition characterized by a lack of oxygen.
A lack of oxygen which can cause damage to the brain. This can result when blood flow is reduced.
Reduced oxygen levels in the tissues.
suffocation; total lack of oxygen and concomittent rise of carbon dioxide in the fetal blood. Requires complete failure of maternal perfusion (e.g., secondary to complete abruption), complete failure of placental oxygen uptake or complete failure of oxygen transfer from the placenta to the fetus (e.g., secondary to complete occlusion of the umbilical cord)
A lack of oxygen to tissues, which, if prolonged, can cause cell damage or death.
Lack of oxygen in the environment.
Lack of oxygen. The condition which causes the death of tissue when arteries are blocked.
the state when a body of water has near-zero concentrations of dissolved oxygen
an absence of oxygen supply to an organ's tissues leading to cell death.
is a lack of oxygen in deep waters. The values that indicate this condition, are set at between 0-1.0 mg/l. Anoxia causes damage and rot to the organisms that live in deep waters.
The total lack of dissolved oxygen in water.
a situation where the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water is reduced to zero. The end result is a localized area that is not capable of supporting biological activity.
Lack of oxygen supply to the brain cells.
The absence of oxygen supply to the tissues.
Lack of oxygen, which may cause brain damage.
the absence of oxygen. Defined as less than 0.5 mg/l dissolved oxygen.
Lack of oxygen. Anoxic tissues cannot function properly and will die if they are completely deprived of oxygen for more than a few minutes.
AÂ lack of oxygen to the brain, damaging brain cells.
Hapettomuus Anoxi, syrebrist The absence of oxygen.
Tissue oxygen deprivation.
A lack of oxygen in body tissues.
A condition where dissolved oxygen in the water column is totally depleted. The absence of oxygen or a deficiency of oxygen that is harmful to living organisms. Anoxic conditions can develop in a lake bottom when oxygen is depleted by decomposition processes. This often happens in eutrophic lakes and can result in fish kills. See also "anaerobic."
