9. Treatment of Hypoxia

Treatment of hypoxia depends greatly upon which type it is and what the specific cause might be. If the hypoxia exists because of restricted air passages, the sole treatment is examining and removing the blockage that is preventing air from reaching the lungs. If the hypoxia occurs due to unhealthy or impaired blood, an application of direct oxygen can increase the levels while locating and treating the problem in the blood itself. For hypoxia caused by damaged tissue, the medical practitioner must examine the affected area to determine how to restore normal function.
