Anoxic Brain Injury refers to when the brain fails to receive oxygen; it is an acquired (not traumatic) brain injury. Cells in the brain require oxygen (carried by the blood), in order to survive and function properly. Anoxic Brain Injury can be divided into three types:
-Anoxic Anoxia is when the brain is injured because no oxygen is supplied; it may be caused by extreme altitudes.
-Anemic Anoxia is when the brain is injured because the blood does not carry enough oxygen.
-Toxic Anoxia occurs when the brain is injured because toxins prevent the brain from using oxygen.
Anoxic brain injury may occur due to drowning, choking, strangulation, or some respiratory difficulty.
