oxygen deprivation

Oxygen deprivation, also known as hypoxia, occurs when the body or a part of the body doesn't receive enough oxygen. This can happen due to various reasons, such as high altitudes, suffocation, drowning, or certain medical conditions affecting breathing. Oxygen is essential for the body's cells to function properly. Without enough oxygen, you may experience symptoms like confusion, dizziness, shortness of breath, and in severe cases, it can lead to unconsciousness or death. Quick identification and treatment are vital to restore oxygen levels and prevent long-term damage to the body.
