Lack of sufficient oxygen reaching the brain is (four types below)
hypoxia
a result of decreased oxygen partial pressure in the air
hypoxic
caused by alcohol or drug use; inability of cells to use oxygen
histotoxic
reduction in oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood

poor circulation; experienced during excessive G's
stagnant
as altitude increases vision
deteriorates
oxygen is diluted with ambient air in re-breather bag
continuous flow
conserves oxygen at lower altitudes; increasing oxygen at higher altitudes
