*Common risk factors in the development of cyanosis include [[Congenital heart disease|congenital heart diseases]] with right to left shunting, [[carbon monoxide poisoning]], respiratory disorders(eg, [[asthma]], open [[pneumothorax]], [[pulmonary edema]], [[pulmonary hypertension]],pneumonia), [[Hemoglobinopathy|hemoglobinopathies]], [[Disseminated intravascular coagulation|DIC]]  [[shock]], [[Hypothermia|cold exposure]], and [[raynaud's phenomenon]].
[[Cyanosis]] is the sign of underlying disease. Risk factors related to the presence of underlying conditions should be noticed.
Common risk factors in the development of [[Congenital heart disease|congenital heart diseases]] with the right to left shunt include maternal age >35 years, No intake of the multivitamin, febrile illness in the first trimester, [[obesity]], paternal age> 25 years.

The risk factors for cyanosis include:
The risk factors for [[cyanosis]] include:
*Any condition that interferes with oxygen from entering the [[Pulmonary alveolus|alveoli]] or interrupts its movement across the alveolar interface leads to [[hypoxemia]] and [[cyanosis]].
*Any condition that interferes with oxygen from entering the [[Pulmonary alveolus|alveoli]] or interrupts its movement across the alveolar interface leads to [[hypoxemia]] and [[cyanosis]].

Overview

Cyanosis is the sign of underlying disease. Risk factors related to the presence of underlying conditions should be noticed. Common risk factors in the development of congenital heart diseases with the right to left shunt include maternal age >35 years, No intake of the multivitamin, febrile illness in the first trimester, obesity, paternal age> 25 years.

Risk Factors

The risk factors for cyanosis include:
