Cerebral Hypoxia
When the brain does not receive enough oxygen for a period of time, this is called cerebral hypoxia, a situation in which the nerve cells can be affected because they depend on a constant supply of oxygen to function.
Why seek care: It is a condition that requires timely evaluation, since brain tissue is very sensitive to the lack of oxygen. For that reason it is usually managed in intensive care settings.
Possible manifestations: Confusion, difficulty concentrating, movement changes or changes in alertness may appear, depending on the cause and its duration.
Which specialist treats it? The critical care and intensive care specialist steps in during the acute phases, and in certain cases the vascular surgeon takes part when the origin is related to blood flow. At any warning sign, the appropriate response is immediate evaluation by health personnel.
