Anoxia: 1. Strictly speaking, the absence of oxygen. 2. The near absence of oxygen. 3. Sometimes used loosely as a synonym for hypoxia.
From an- (without) + -ox- (oxygen) + -ia == the state of being without oxygen.
Anoxia
absent or reduced (hypoxia) oxygenation of tissues, including the brain, causing injury.

Anoxia
Definition Anoxia is a condition characterized by an absence of oxygen supply to an organ or a tissue. Description Anoxia results when oxygen is not being delivered to a part of the body.
Anoxia: Lack of oxygen.
Antagonist: In biochemistry, an antagonist acts against and blocks an action.
ANOXIA: Without oxygen.

There is a great deal of evidence that concentrations of brain adenosine are increased by various types of metabolic stress including anoxia and ischemia.
Anoxic brain damage differs from hypoxic brain damage in that no oxygen at all reaches the brain. In anemic anoxia, brain damage is caused from the lack of oxygen in the blood. In anoxic anoxia, the lack of oxygen to the brain causes brain damage.
Complications of a Stokes-Adams attack may include permanent brain damage (neurological impairment) and seizures if there is a prolonged period of low oxygen (anoxia) to the brain.

The doctor will also increase the amount of oxygen reaching the brain. Efforts to cool the brain may also be used to help limit brain damage. In addition, hyperbaric oxygen treatment may be used in cases of anoxia due to carbon monoxide poising.
Factors that are believed to enhance the sensation of itch include dryness of the epidermis and dermis, anoxia of tissues, dilation of the capillaries, irritating stimuli, and psychological responses.[1,3,4,5] ...
is caused by lesions to the parietal and temporal lobes of the brain, regions involved in storing memories and associations of objects. The condition may arise following head trauma or stroke, or following carbon monoxide poisoning or anoxia.
It is sometimes accompanied by what appears to be a brief convulsion thatis due to anoxia (lack of oxygen) of the brain stem and not a true seizure.
The user typically soaks a rag with inhalant and places it over the mouth and nose, or puts the inhalant in a paper or plastic bag which is then put over the face (inducing anoxia as well as intoxication).
