Cyanotic attacks of newborn - what does this mean

Cyanotic attacks of newborn occur when an infant's oxygen levels are too low, causing the skin to appear blue or purple. this is usually caused by a heart defect or lung disease, such as an infection or blockage, which can lead to a decrease in oxygen levels.

What happens during the disease - cyanotic attacks of newborn

Cyanotic attacks of newborn are caused by a decrease in the oxygen saturation of the blood, which can be caused by a variety of underlying conditions. these conditions can range from cardiac and respiratory disorders to metabolic and hematologic disorders. in some cases, the oxygen saturation decrease is due to an imbalance between oxygen delivery and oxygen utilization, which can be caused by hypoventilation, hypoxia, or a combination of both. additionally, some infants may have an underlying congenital heart defect that can cause a decreased oxygen saturation.
