HYPOXIA Introduction Hypoxia is simply a lack of oxygen at the tissue level of the body due to a decreased partial pressure of oxygen in the inspired air. Hypoxia is serious‚ because it may lead to death. Diseases of the blood‚ the heart and circulation‚ and the lungs may all produce some form of hypoxia. There are four types of hypoxia: (1) the hypoxic type‚ in which the oxygen pressure in the blood going to the tissues is too low to saturate the haemoglobin; (2) the anaemic type‚ in which

The Relationship Between Work Rate And Oxygen Uptake During Incremental Submaximal Exercise Introduction Oxygen uptake () describes the rate at which oxygen is utilized by tissues (Burton et al‚ 2004). is determined by heart rate (heart beats each minute)‚ stroke volume (the volume of blood pumped from one ventricle each beat) and arteriovenous oxygen difference (difference in blood-oxygen content between arterial and venous blood). Oxygen is needed for respiration‚ the chemical process that

for yoga practitioners to help and prepare them in theirMeditation process. In our respiration process‚ we breathe in or inhale oxygen into our body‚ going through our body systems in a form of energy to charge our different body parts. Then we exhale carbon dioxide and take away all toxic wastes from our body. Through the practice of Pranayama‚ the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide is attained. Absorbing prana through breath control links our body‚ mind‚ and spirit. But life is full of stress

Breathing is a critical component of respiration‚ a process in which life sustaining oxygen is delivered to all the cells in the body and carbon dioxide is removed and released into the air. Breathing difficulties are symptoms of a variety of mild to serious underlying disorders‚ diseases and conditions that interfere with normal respiration and breathing. Hence‚ the ability to carry out and document a full respiratory assessment is an essential skill for all nurses. While conducting the assessment

Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) Biochemical Oxygen Demand‚ BOD‚ as it is commonly abbreviated‚ is one of the most important and useful parameters (measured characteristics) indicating the organic strength of a wastewater. BOD measurement permits an estimate of the waste strength in terms of the amount of dissolved oxygen required to break down the wastewater. The specifics of the analysis are discussed in detail in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. The BOD test is
