Hypoxemia vs Hypoxia

Hypoxemia - Partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) is below normal

Hypoxia - Insufficient oxygen supply at the tissue level

Hypoxemia without hypoxia - Increased O2 delivery to compensate for low PaO2

Hypoxia without hypoxemia - Tissues are unable to use O2 effectively. O2 delivery to tissues is impaired
