Anemic hypoxia has the same symptoms as hypoxic hypoxia, but it is most often a result of
A
poor blood circulation.
B
a leaking exhaust manifold.✓ Correct Answer
C
use of alcohol or drugs before flight.
Explanation
Anemic (hypemic) hypoxia occurs when the blood cannot carry enough oxygen even though enough is breathed in; PHAK cites carbon monoxide poisoning, for example from a leaking exhaust manifold feeding the cabin heater, as the most common aviation cause. Poor circulation causes stagnant hypoxia, and alcohol or drugs cause histotoxic hypoxia.
