Breathing difficulty will occur when there is a insufficient exchange of Oxygen & Carbon Dioxide, in the tissue causing Tissue Anoxia or Cynosis. Tissue most sensitive to oxygen lack are Cerebral Cortex, The Myocardium and Kidney.
Causes
- Lack of Oxygen in the atmosphere.
- Block of the air passage by fluid, gases, foreign bodies, swelling of tissue etc.
- Loss of aerating surface in the lungs.
- Dis-functioning of the respiratory organs.

- Overloading of the stomach with the food.
General Care
