*Common risk factors in the development of [[cyanosis]] include [[Congenital heart disease|congenital heart diseases]] with right to left shunting, presence of [[Hemoglobinopathy|abnormal hemoglobin]], [[carbon monoxide poisoning]], respiratory disorders associated with impaired [[gas exchange]], impaired gas diffusion via the [[Pulmonary alveolus|alveoli]], [[Pulmonary embolism|embolism]], [[Arteriovenous malformation|arteriovenous malformations]], [[Hypothermia|cold exposure]], and [[raynaud's phenomenon]].
[[Cyanosis]] is the sign of underlying disease. Risk factors related to the presence of underlying conditions should be noticed.
Common risk factors in the development of [[Congenital heart disease|congenital heart diseases]] with the right to left shunt include maternal age >35 years, No intake of the multivitamin, febrile illness in the first trimester, [[obesity]], paternal age> 25 years.

The risk factors for [[cyanosis]] include:
*Any condition that interferes with oxygen from entering the [[Pulmonary alveolus|alveoli]] or interrupts its movement across the alveolar interface leads to [[hypoxemia]] and [[cyanosis]].

Overview

Cyanosis is the sign of underlying disease. Risk factors related to the presence of underlying conditions should be noticed. Common risk factors in the development of congenital heart diseases with the right to left shunt include maternal age >35 years, No intake of the multivitamin, febrile illness in the first trimester, obesity, paternal age> 25 years.

Risk Factors

The risk factors for cyanosis include:
