Overview

Central cyanosis in the first hours or days of life in the neonate may happen and implies life-threatening conditions such as congenital cardiac abnormalities , airway obstruction , central nervous system problem, hemoglobinopathy. Peripheral cyanosis may happen in neonate called acrocyanosis. If the underlying causes of cyanosis are found and treated, the prognosis is generally good.
