چکیده
Blue babies lack sufficient hemoglobin, resulting in the bluish discoloration of tissues, a term referred to as cyanosis. There are three major types of cyanosis: central, peripheral and Acrocyanosis and each of them have its specific symptoms, even though the symptoms of central cyanosis overlaps with that of peripheral cyanosis. Cyanosis is diagnosed with auscultation, chest x-ray, electrocardiogram and recently hyperoxia test.

متن کاملLarge calcified right atrial myxoma in a newborn. Rare cause of neonatal death.
