Hypoxia (PHAK Chapter 16)
-Hypoxic: inadequate oxygen supply, as in our breathe-out scenario.
-Hypemic: Inability of blood to carry oxygen, mostly as a result of inhalation of carbon monoxide (including from cigarette smoke).
-Stagnant: Poor blood circulation. In aircraft this can happen through G forces or cold.
-Histotoxic: Inability of cells to use oxygen, mostly from alcohol or drug use.
Carbon monoxide can come in through the heating system. If you ever smell exhaust, or suspect that carbon monoxide is coming in the cabin, turn off the heater, open windows and vents, use supplemental oxygen if available, and land as soon as possible. CO can stay in the body for 48 hours.
