WHAT DOES CYANOSIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cyanosis

Cyanosis

Cyanosis is the appearance of a blue or purple coloration of the skin or mucous membranes due to the tissues near the skin surface having low oxygen saturation. Based on Lundsgaard and Van Slyke's work, the onset of cyanosis is classically described as occurring if 5.0 g/dL of deoxyhemoglobin or greater is present. What is commonly forgotten, however, is that this was based on an "estimate" of capillary saturation based on a mean of arterial versus peripheral venous blood gas measurements. Since estimation of hypoxia is usually now based either on arterial blood gas measurement, or pulse oximetry, this is probably an overestimate, with evidence that levels of 2.0 g/dL of deoxyhemoglobin may reliably produce cyanosis. Since, however, the presence of cyanosis is dependent upon there being an absolute quantity of deoxyhemoglobin, the bluish color is more readily apparent in those with high hemoglobin counts than it is with those with anemia. Also the bluer color is more difficult to detect on deeply pigmented skin.

Definition of cyanosis in the English dictionary
