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.

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.

Common causes:

Central cyanosis:

There following are some of the common causes of central cyanosis:[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

Life Threatening Causes

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