Tissue Hypoxia Definition

Tissue hypoxia is a condition in which tissue cells experience inadequate oxygen utilization due to a number of causes such as decreased partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) in a given tissue.

Raising inspired oxygen under pressure is one of the few ways to lift tissue PO2 when blood flow is impaired. This summary of hyperbaric chamber benefits reviews which hypoxic-tissue indications have clinical support.
