Cerebral Hypoxia
Definition
Cerebral hypoxia technically means a lack of oxygen supply to the outer part of the brain, an area called the cerebral hemisphere. However, the term is more typically used to refer to a lack of oxygen supply to the entire brain.
Symptoms
Symptoms of mild cerebral hypoxia include:
* Change in attention (inattentiveness)
* Poor judgment
* Uncoordinated movement
Symptoms of severe cerebral hypoxia include:
* Complete unawareness and unresponsiveness (coma)
* No breathing
* No response to light
If only blood pressure and heart function remain, then the brain may actually be completely dead.
