The ventilation disturbance is what is causing the hypoxia.

What is ventilation disorder?

  • It is a reduction in an individual's ability to exhale.
  • It is disharmony between perfusion and pulmonary ventilation.
  • It's a type of respiratory failure.

Ventilation disorder is a lung problem that impairs the exhalation of air from the lungs. In this type of disorder, the individual can breathe in well, but the expiration is inefficient and hinders correct breathing.

Asthma is a disease that can influence ventilation disturbance prominently, especially when there are cases of hypoxia, where there is a severe lack of oxygen in the tissues.
