Hypoxia of the Brain and Mechanisms of its Development

Abstract

All types of hypoxia at certain stages of their development are accompanied by impaired tissue respiration, that is, they lead to the development of secondary tissue hypoxia. The causes and development mechanisms of which we tried to discuss in this article. The development of hypoxic conditions and their compensation depend not only on this or that hypoxic perturbation and that part of the respiratory system, which is primarily targeted by its action, but also on the duration and the degree of exposure to the factor causing hypoxia, on the activity of urgent and long-term compensation mechanisms.
