Anoxemia
Definition
An extreme pathological condition characterized by a drastic decrease or complete absence of oxygen in arterial blood. In clinical pathophysiology, this structural phenomenon represents a severe form of hypoxemia, occurring as a result of mechanical asphyxia, acute respiratory failure, toxic gas poisoning, or major circulatory dysfunctions, placing cellular metabolism and the viability of vital organs, especially the brain, in imminent danger.
