Hs and Ts - Hypoxia | ACLS Certification Association

In this video, we take a closer look at hypoxia—one of the critical reversible causes in the Hs and Ts of Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). Hypoxia refers to inadequate oxygenation at the tissue level, and recognizing it quickly can be the key to saving a life during resuscitation.

You’ll learn:
✔ What hypoxia is and why it matters in cardiac emergencies
✔ The four types of hypoxia:
  - Hypoxic
  - Stagnant
  - Hypemic
  - Histotoxic
✔ How to identify each type
✔ Why the type of hypoxia matters when selecting treatment
✔ How oxygen delivery and ventilation play a role in reversing hypoxia

Whether you’re an EMT, nurse, paramedic, or medical student preparing for ACLS certification or recertification, understanding hypoxia and how to treat it is essential in improving outcomes.

🔁 Don’t forget to review the rest of the Hs and Ts series for complete mastery of ACLS protocol.
