Résumé

Cyanosis is a medical symptom of bluish color to the skin or mucus membranes that is usually due to a lack of oxygen in the blood. The red blood cells are bright red in color; as a result the normal skin has a pinkish or red hue. Blood that has no more or low oxygen is dark bluish-red. People whose blood is low in oxygen are likely to have a bluish color to their skin, called cyanosis. Cyanosis may arise suddenly, along with shortness of breath and other symptoms.
Cyanosis that is produced by long-term heart or lung problems may develop slowly. The cyanosis may be present, but is often not severe. The cyanosis may be difficult to detect when the oxygen levels have dropped only a small amount. Cyanosis in the mucus membranes (lips, gums, around the eyes) and nails can be seen easier especially in dark-skinned people. Cyanosis present in only one area of the body may be due to:1.
A blood clot (thrombosis) that blocks the blood supply to a foot, hand, leg, or arm2. Raynaud phenomenonMost cyanosis happens because of insufficient oxygen in the blood. This can be due to:1.
