Abstract
Episodic or intermittent hypoxia occurs in many pathophysiological situations, including sleep apneas and recurrent apneas in premature infants. In addition, intermittent hypoxia is not all uncommon in humans who have lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma or pulmonary fibrosis. Thus mammals experience episodic hypoxia, often in life, even perhaps more so than sustained hypoxia that occurs in situations like high altitude.
