==Overview==
==Overview==
Cyanosis occur because of lack of oxygen in the blood and often due to a circulatory or ventilatory problem that leads to poor blood oxygenation in the lungs (central cyanosis) or due to inadequate circulation to the extremities (peripheral cyanosis).  Cyanosis is commonly caused by respiratory disorders and it is also seen in a wide variety of cardiac and vascular disorders and the management depends on the causative factor.
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]].


==Causes==
==Causes==
[[Cyanosis]] can be caused by the following mechanisms, systemic arterial oxygen desaturation and increased oxygen extraction by the tissues. Based on these mechanisms, cyanosis can be either central or peripheral. Certain conditions present with bluish purple discoloration of skin or mucous membranes can mimic cyanosis, are not associated with [[hypoxemia]] or peripheral vasoconstriction and is called Pseudocyanosis.

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.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

Common Causes

Central Cyanosis

There following are some of the common causes of central cyanosis:

Peripheral Cyanosis:

There following are some of the common causes of peripheral cyanosis: [34][35]
