What's the difference between this and Hypoxia (medical)? Jmeppley 03:30, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've adjusted the merge tags, so that all discussion can occur on Talk:Hypoxia (medical) page David Ruben ^Talk 03:29, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested headers[edit]

Are we treating this article as a sign or a medical condition? Really it could be considered as both. The answer to this generally dictates the layout. WP:MEDMOS suggests the following headers for articles about symptoms/signs:

Definition
Differential diagnosis
Pathophysiology
Diagnostic approach
Treatment
Epidemiology
History
Society and culture
Research
Other animals

and the following for diseases, disorders or syndromes:

Classification
Signs and symptoms
Causes
Pathophysiology
Diagnosis
Prevention
Treatment
Prognosis
Epidemiology
History
Society and culture
Research directions
Other animals Lesion (talk) 11:03, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

I made the lead much more simple, and moved the more complicated physiologic concepts and definitions into the body of the article. Per WP:LEAD, we should use clear and concise language in the lead. Lesion (talk) 11:50, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The section now called definitions has a professorial, lecturing tone to it. Perhaps it could be worded more encyclopedically... Lesion (talk) 11:50, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This definition section is better now, but upon reading the rest of the article this tone is used throughout. We should try to make it sound more encyclopedic imo. Lesion (talk) 12:55, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is a missing word in the section Causes\ventilation, "If the alveolar ventilation is <something>, there..." - could someone with more expertise than myself make an update? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.122.188.71 (talk) 08:33, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Quality of article[edit]

The quality of this article is atrocious and has numerous edits that are ridiculous or nonsensical. 99.25.229.228 (talk) 00:15, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
