==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
In [[central cyanosis]] saturation of [[oxygen]] is less than 85% when there is reduced hemoglobin more than 5g/dl following a [[intrapulmonary shunt]] or [[intracardiac shunt]] leading to mixing of arterial and venous [[ oxygen]] content. In [[peripheral cyanosis]], the saturation of [[oxygen]] is normal and there is [[peripheral capillary bed]] [[vasoconstriction]] due to low [[cardiac output]] state or [[sepsis]]. | |||

Overview
In central cyanosis saturation of oxygen is less than 85% when there is reduced hemoglobin more than 5g/dl following a intrapulmonary shunt or intracardiac shunt leading to mixing of arterial and venous oxygen content. In peripheral cyanosis, the saturation of oxygen is normal and there is peripheral capillary bed vasoconstriction due to low cardiac output state or sepsis.

Common Causes

Peripheral Cyanosis:
There following are some of the common causes of peripheral cyanosis: [34][35]
- Various conditions that cause central cyanosis can also present with peripheral cyanosis.
- Common conditions where peripheral cyanosis is more specific:
- Cold exposure
- Acrocyanosis
- Erythrocyanosis
- Raynaud's phenomenon
- Raynaud's disease
