Cyanosis
Definition:
(n.) A condition in which, from insufficient a/ration of the blood, the surface of the body becomes blue. See Cyanopathy.
Example Sentences:

(3) He was admitted with dyspnea on exertion, syncope, and severe cyanosis.
(4) Serum erythropoietin levels were measured by radioimmunoassay in 146 children and young adults with congenital heart disease to assess the relationship between erythropoietin and clinical factors (heart failure, anemia, cyanosis) and hemodynamic variables affecting oxygen delivery and utilization.
(5) Cyanosis of the hands and feet in Buerger's disease is known as 'Buerger's colour'.
(6) All children were in a severe condition, with deep central cyanosis, congestive heart failure and severe metabolic acidosis.
(7) Five patients had inadequate relief of cyanosis; three of these had venous collaterals and two had severe ventricular dysfunction; the latter two patients subsequently had strokes.
