Osteopathy and anoxia

Patients with whatever complaint can show anoxia and that must be treated independent of the complaint area.

There are four types of anoxia:

Anoxic anoxia

Anoxic anoxia is caused by a lack of oxygen in the air (reduced atmospheric oxygen tension), such as at high altitudes. As a result, less oxygen reaches the blood, resulting in a lack of oxygen supply to the tissues.

Anemic anoxia

Anemic anoxia is occurs when red blood cells lack the ability to carry sufficient oxygen, either due to a reduction in hemoglobin or due an alteration in the capacity of the hemoglobin to carry oxygen. It may also be the result of a deficiency in red blood cells. Health conditions frequently associated with anemic anoxia include lung disorders, chronic anemia, carbon monoxide poisoning, and acute hemorrhage.     

Stagnant anoxia (also called hypoxic-ischemic injury)

Stagnant anoxia occurs when blood, although well-oxygenated, is not distributed to the tissues. Stagnant anoxia is caused by conditions such as stroke, heart attack, and cardiac arrhythmias.

Toxic anoxia

Toxic anoxia occurs when toxic substances such as carbon monoxide, cyanide, narcotics, or alcohol are present in the body, restricting the delivery of oxygen to the tissue.
