anoxia

Anoxia is a condition where the body or a specific part of it is deprived of oxygen, which is essential for survival. Without enough oxygen, cells and tissues can't function properly and can begin to die, leading to serious health issues. Anoxia can happen due to problems like airway obstruction, blood flow interruption, or high altitudes. It’s different from hypoxia, which is a partial lack of oxygen. Prompt medical treatment is critical to restore oxygen levels and prevent permanent damage or death.
