== Overview ==
'''Cyanosis''' is a bluish coloration of the [[skin]] due to the presence of deoxygenated [[hemoglobin]] in [[blood vessel]]s near the skin surface. It occurs when the [[oxygen saturation]] of arterial blood falls below 85%.


The elementary principle behind cyanosis is that deoxygenated hemoglobin produces the bluish discoloration, and also produces vasoconstriction that makes it more evident. Thus oxygen deficiency - [[Hypoxia (medical)|hypoxia]] - leads to blue discoloration of the lips and other mucus membranes.
