Overview
There are no established risk factors for [disease name].
OR
The most potent risk factor in the development of [disease name] is [risk factor 1]. Other risk factors include [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].
OR
Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include [risk factor 1], [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].
OR
Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.
Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of cyanosis include congenital heart diseases with right to left shunting, respiratory disorders, hemoglobinopathies, and shock.
Common Risk Factors
- Any condition that interferes with oxygen from entering the alveoli or interrupts its movement across the alveolar interface leads to hypoxemia and cyanosis.
- Decreased inspired oxygen
- Carbon monoxide exposure
- Cyanide poisoning
- Smoke from house fires
- Upper airway obstruction
- Foreign body
- Croup
- Epiglottitis
- Bacterial tracheitis
- Traumatic airway disruption
- Impairment of chest wall or lung expansion
- Pneumothorax
- Hemothorax
- Flail chest
- Intrinsic lung diseases
- Asthma
- COPD
- Pneumonia
- Bronchiolitis
- Hyaline membrane disease
- Intracardiac or vascular shunts may cause cyanosis by mixing oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
- Congenital heart diseases
- Structural or vascular alteration in pulmonary blood flow
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Pulmonary edema
- Pulmonary embolism
- Cold exposure
- Alteration of hemoglobin
- Methemoglobin
- Sulfhemoglobin
- Raynaud's phenomenon
- Polycythemia
- Shock
- Altered mental status
- Decreased inspired oxygen
