Was ist die Blausucht?
Bei einer Zyanose (veraltet: „Blausucht“) enthält das Blut zu wenig Sauerstoff, so dass es bläulich durch die Haut schimmert. Sichtbar wird dies besonders an den Fingerspitzen, Lippen und anderen dünnen Hautpartien.
Was kann ich tun bei Sauerstoffmangel?
Die Sauerstoff-Mehrschritt-Therapie (SMT)
- Vitamin- und Mineralien-Gabe zur Erhöhung der Sauerstoff-Aufnahme und Leistungsfähigkeit. Meist kommen Vitamin B1 und Magnesium zum Einsatz.
- Sauerstoff-Inhalation über eine Nasensonde.
- Körperliche Belastung (z. B. Treppensteigen oder Ergometertraining) mit Sauerstoff-Nasensonde.
What happens to your body when you have cyanosis?
Cyanosis is when your skin turns blue or grayish in color because your blood isn’t carrying enough oxygen. In some people, the color change may be more noticeable in the nailbeds or lips than elsewhere. When cyanosis occurs, it means your muscles, organs, and other tissues may not be getting the oxygen they need to operate properly.
What kind of treatment do you get for cyanosis?
If you have cyanosis, it’s likely that you’ll receive oxygen therapy to help boost your blood oxygen levels quickly, but any additional treatment you may receive for cyanosis will depend on the root cause of your condition. For example, treatment for COPD may include inhaled corticosteroids and pulmonary rehabilitation.
Where does the name cyanosis come from in medical terms?
The term originates from the Greek word kyanos, which means dark blue. Cyanosis means your muscles, organs, and other tissues may not be getting the oxygen they need to operate properly. A variety of things may cause cyanosis, some of which are serious medical concerns.
What kind of oxygen saturation causes cyanosis?
Normally approximately 80-87% oxygen saturation would give rise to clinically apparent cyanosis. However, in cases of anemia where haemoglobin levels are low, lower oxygen saturation may show up as cyanosis.
