Vital Signs

Skin

  • Cyanosis, cool, clammy, and mottled skin (cutis marmorata), due to vasoconstriction and subsequent hypoperfusion of the skin are often present.

Lungs

  • Rapid and deep respirations (hyperventilation) due to sympathetic nervous system stimulation by stretch receptors and as compensation for metabolic acidosis.
  • Pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs) due to insufficient pumping of the heart, fluid backs up into the lungs.
