Oxygen Deficit
oxygen deficit[′äk·sə·jən ‚def·ə·sət] (geochemistry) The difference between the actual amount of dissolved oxygen in lake or sea water and the saturation concentration at the temperature of the water mass sampled. Oxygen Deficit oxygen debt, the additional amount of oxygen required by the body to oxidize the incompletely oxidized metabolic products that have accumulated after physical exertion. Oxygen deficit is evidence that oxygen intake has failed to keep pace with the body’s need for oxygen during work. Determination of the oxygen deficit, by studying gas exchange, is important in solving certain questions of the physiology of work and sport. It is also important in evaluating the condition of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The term “oxygen deficit” is sometimes taken to mean the difference between the body’s need for oxygen and the amount that it actually consumes under a variety of circumstances (oxygen deficiency, or hypoxia). oxygen deficit

See also stroke syndrome.self care deficit any of a group of nursing diagnoses approved by the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association, defined as impaired ability to perform basic self care (activities of daily living) in the areas of feeding, bathing/hygiene, dressing/grooming, and toileting. Related factors include diminished strength and endurance, pain or discomfort, impaired mentation, neuromuscular disorder, depression, and anxiety. The defining characteristics for each functional level are readily observed and graded on a scale of 0 to 4. The suggested code for functional level classification is as follows: 0, Completely independent; 1, Requires use of equipment or device; 2, Requires help from another person for assistance, supervision, or teaching; 3, Requires help from another person and equipment or device; 4, Dependent; does not participate in activity.self care deficit, bathing/hygiene a nursing diagnosis defined as impaired ability to perform or complete bathing/hygiene activities for oneself; see deficit" >self care deficit.self care deficit, dressing/grooming a nursing diagnosis defined as impaired ability to perform or complete dressing and grooming activities for oneself; see deficit" >self care deficit.self care deficit, feeding a nursing diagnosis defined as impaired ability to perform or complete feeding activities; see deficit" >self care deficit.self care deficit, toileting a nursing diagnosis defined as impaired ability to perform or complete one's own toileting activities; see deficit" >self care deficit.speech deficit speech disorder" >speech disorder; see also enhancement: speech deficit" >communication enhancement: speech deficit.visual deficit partial or complete blindness; see enhancement: visual deficit" >communication enhancement: visual deficit.ox·y·gen def·i·citthe difference between oxygen uptake of the body during early stages of exercise and during a similar duration in a steady state of exercise; sometimes considered as the formation of the oxygen debt.ox·y·gen def·i·cit (ok'si-jĕn def'i-sit) The difference between oxygen uptake of the body during early stages of exercise and during a similar duration in a steady state of exercise; sometimes considered as the formation of the oxygen debt.
