What can cause hpoxic hypoxia? - CORRECT ANSWERS Increase in altitude
lung disease
airway obstruction
right-to-left shunt n the heart
reduction in gas exchange in the alveoli
low Po2
Clinical hypoxia will start to develop within a few hundred feet from the ground but symptoms
do not begin until height of how many feet? - CORRECT ANSWERS 5,000
what patients are more susceptible to hypoxic hypoxia? - CORRECT ANSWERS
cardiovascular
pneumothorax
tension pneumothorax
hypoxic hypoxia patients ill become? - CORRECT ANSWERS cyanotic
At how many feet and what presentage does oxygen saturation start to reduce? - CORRECT
ANSWERS -The blood oxygen saturation 98% at sea level --reduced to 87% at 10,000 ft and
-60% at 22,000 ft.
Oxygen Adjustment Calculation - CORRECT ANSWERS (FiO2 x Pressure on the ground
or where you're at) P1 /pressure you're flying to P2
histotoxic hypoxia - CORRECT ANSWERS The cells are unable to use oxygen.

There is plenty of oxygen available, and it can bind to hemoglobin, but the tissues cannot access
it.
"poisoning"
What causes histotoxic hypoxia? - CORRECT ANSWERS results from poisoning or
metabolic disorders such as:
cyanide, alcohol, carbon monoxide, nitroglycerin, sodium nitroprusside (Nipride)
Sign of histotoxic hypoxia - CORRECT ANSWERS Cherry red skin.
Stagnant Hypoxia - CORRECT ANSWERS "Blood isn't moving"
Failure to transport oxygenated blood.
Reduced cardiac output or pooling of blood
In flight medicine, stagnant hypoxia results from? - CORRECT ANSWERS Venous
pooling in the patient during accelerated maneuvers, such as steep turns and other maneuvers
that increase the gravitational load on the aircraft.
Or blood pooling in the lower extremities of patients and crew members who sit in an aircraft
for extended periods.

Stagnant hypoxia will cause every kind of shock expect? - CORRECT ANSWERS
Hypovolemic
Stagnant hypoxia will cause what kind of skin reaction? - CORRECT ANSWERS Cyanotic
skin
A patient with a tension pneumothorax would experience which type of hypoxia? -
CORRECT ANSWERS Stagnant hypoxia
a tension pneumothorax compresses the mediastinum and vena cava, thus restricting the flow
of blood, which is the definition of stagnant hypoxia.
Hypemic Hypoxia - CORRECT ANSWERS Reduction in the O2 carrying capacity in the
blood. Impaired attachment of oxygen to hemoglobin. or reduced number of red blood cells.
hemorrhage, anemia, and drugs (sulfanilamide nitrates)
"anemic"
Causes of hypemic hypoxia - CORRECT ANSWERS carbon monoxide poising,
hemorrhage,
anemia,
blood loss,
excessive smoking,
use of nitrite,
and sulfa drugs,
