title: Cellular pathophysiology. Part 2: Responses following hypoxia.
abstract: The first paper in this series discussed the physiological processes that occur within cells following an injury. This second and final paper looks at the physiological responses that occur following a hypoxic injury, including the problems caused by free radicals, nitric oxide and calcium. The implications for practice that result will be discussed in detail.
