Cyanosis - what does this mean

Cyanosis is a condition in which the skin and mucous membranes turn blue or purple due to a lack of oxygen in the blood. it is caused by a decrease in the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, such as in cases of heart or lung disease, or when the blood vessels are constricted, preventing oxygenated blood from reaching the extremities.

What happens during the disease - cyanosis

Cyanosis is caused by a decrease in oxygen-rich blood that is circulated throughout the body, leading to a bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes. this can be caused by a number of factors, including poor circulation, respiratory disorders, heart disease, and anemia. in some cases, the condition can also be caused by certain medications or exposure to toxins.
