V What is CIRCULATORY HYPOXIA? Lack of O2 to ssues, what is causing it? Decreased cardiac output
=

Not enough output = decreased in o2 not being carried out to your ssues
 HYPERVENTILATION VS . HYPOVENTILATION
o HYPERVENTILATION: DEEP/RAPID breathing, a compensatory mechanism

- Reasons: high al tude, fever, pain, anxiety , Rapid & deep

o HYPOVENTILATION: impaired gas exchange, not enough O2 is crossing from hemoglobin (RBCs) to
alveoli
w Reasons: COPD , morphine pa ents, obesity, ALL chronic lung disorders, opioids due to
decreased respiratory effort, ALL neuromuscular diseases; anything decrease/suppress
the breathings
