title: [Hypoxia and internal intensive medicine. I. Clinical aspects of acute hypoxia].
abstract: The treatment of the topic acute hypoxia and internal intensive medicine with description of the fundaments--classification and definition of hypoxia and its forms, clinic, therapeutic possibilities and oxygen therapy--becomes necessary in order to get in the entity of hypoxia and to find a common language among specialists for intensive medicine. The knowledge of a differentiated treatment of different forms of hypoxia and thus also of clinical pictures seems to be necessary under the aspect of a highly developed respirator technique and the knowledge of anaesthesiology in this field. Application of the first report is the description of the factors of the oxygen transport. Respiratory, stagnation, anaemic and histotoxic hypoxia are defined and possible causes mentioned. The clinically relevant hypoxia will mostly be a mixed form, among which the respiratory insufficiency in shock lung plays an important role in intensive medicine.
