AB Results  from  lack  of  delivery  of  oxygen  to  the  brain  because  of  extreme  hypotension  or  respiratory  failure.  Most  common  causes  are  MI,  cardiac  arrest,  shock,  asphyxiation,  paralysis  of  respiration,  and  carbon  monoxide  or  cyanide  poisoning.  In  some  circumstances,  hypoxemia  may  predominate.  Carbon  monoxide  and  cyanide  poisoning  are  termed  histotoxic  hypoxemia  because  they  cause  a  direct  impairment  of  the  respiratory  chain.
