Red blood cells provide oxygen to body toàn thân tissues. Most of the time, nearly all red blood cells in the arteries carry a full supply of oxygen. These blood cells are bright red and the skin is pinkish or red.
Blood that has lost its oxygen is dark bluish-red. People whose blood is low in oxygen tend to have a bluish color to their skin. This condition is called cyanosis.
Depending on the cause, cyanosis may develop suddenly, along with shortness of breath and other symptoms.
Cyanosis that is caused by long-term heart or lung problems may develop slowly. Symptoms may be present, but are often not severe.
When the oxygen level has dropped only a small amount, cyanosis may be hard to detect.
In dark-skinned people, cyanosis may be easier to see in the mucous membranes (lips, gums, around the eyes) and nails.
People with cyanosis do not normally have anemia (low blood count). Anemia is a condition in which the body toàn thân does not have enough healthy red blood cells.
Cyanosis that is seen in only one part of the body toàn thân may be due to:
- A blood clot that blocks the blood supply to a leg, foot, hand, or armRaynaud phenomenon (condition in which cold temperatures or strong emotions cause blood vessel spasms, which block blood flow to the fingers, toes, ears, and nose)
LACK OF OXYGEN IN THE BLOOD
Most cyanosis occurs because of a lack of oxygen in the blood. This can be caused by the following problems.
Problems with the lungs:
- Blood clot in the arteries of the lungs
(pulmonary embolism)Drowning or near-drowningHigh altitudeInfection in the smallest air passages in the lungs of children, called bronchiolitisLong-term lung problems that become more severe, such as
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and interstitial lung diseasePneumonia (severe)
Problems with the airways leading to the lungs:
- Breath-holding (although this is exceedingly difficult to do)Choking on something stuck in the airwaysSwelling around the vocal cords (croup)Inflammation of the flap of tissue, called the epiglottis, that covers the windpipe (epiglottitis)
Problems with the heart:
- Heart defects that are present birth (congenital)Heart failureHeart stops working (cardiac arrest)
Other problems:
- Drug overdose (narcotics, benzodiazepines, sedatives)Exposure to cold air or waterSeizure that lasts a long timeToxins such as cyanide
For cyanosis caused by exposure to cold or Raynaud phenomenon, dress warmly when going outside or stay in a well-heated room.
Bluish skin can be a sign of many serious medical problems. Call or visit your health care provider.
For adults, contact your doctor or call the local emergency number, such as 911 if you have bluish skin and any of the following:
- You cannot get a deep breath or your breathing is getting harder, or fasterNeed to lean forward when
sitting to breatheAre using muscles around the ribs to get enough airHave chest painAre having headaches more often than usualFeel sleepy or confusedHave a feverAre coughing up dark mucus
For children, contact the doctor or call the local emergency number, such as 911 if your child has bluish skin and any of the following:
- Hard time breathingChest muscles moving in with each breathBreathing faster than
50 to 60 breaths per minute (when not crying)Making a grunting noiseSitting with shoulders hunched overIs very tiredIs not moving around muchHas a limp or floppy bodyNostrils are flaring out when breathingDoes not feel like eatingIs irritableHas trouble sleeping
In general, cyanosis that occurs acutely is more likely to be an emergency than when it is present for a long time.
Your provider will perform a physical examination. This will include listening to your breathing and heart sounds. In emergency situations (such as shock), you will be stabilized first.
The provider will ask about your symptoms. Questions may include:
- When did the bluish skin develop? Did it begin slowly or suddenly?Is your body toàn thân blue all over? How about your lips
or nailbeds?Have you been exposed to cold or have you been a high altitude?Do you have trouble breathing? Do you have a cough or chest pain?Do you have ankle, foot, or leg swelling?
Tests that may be ordered include:
- Arterial blood gas analysisBlood oxygen saturation by pulse oximetryChest x-rayChest CT scanComplete blood count (CBC)Electrocardiogram (ECG)Echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart)
The treatment you receive depends on the cause of cyanosis. For example, you may receive oxygen for shortness of breath.

Which condition would cause a light skinned skin tone to be whitish pink in color?
Overview of Vitiligo Vitiligo is a chronic (long-lasting) disorder that causes patches of skin to lose pigment or color. This happens when melanocytes – skin cells that make pigment – are attacked and destroyed, causing the skin to turn a milky-white color.Which locations of the body toàn thân would the nurse assess to confirm jaundice in a dark
The sclera is arguably a better site than the skin to measure jaundice–especially in dark-skinned patients–since it is không lấy phí of skin pigment (melanin), a major confounding factor.Where should the nurse assess a dark
In dark-skinned people, cyanosis may be easier to see in the mucous membranes (lips, gums, around the eyes) and nails.What signs of cyanosis does a nurse inspect for in a dark
In light-skinned patients, cyanosis presents as a dark bluish tint to the skin and mucous membranes (which reflects the bluish tint of unoxygenated hemoglobin). But in dark-skinned patients, cyanosis may present as gray or whitish (not bluish) skin around the mouth, and the conjunctivae may appear gray or bluish.
