A member asked:
How long does severe hypoxia associated with asthma last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not long: If an asthma patient is severely hypoxic, their oxygen levels are low and likely, their carbon dioxide levels are high and this combination is deadly and if not corrected, will result in loss of consciousness, coma and death.
