borderline cyanosis Explanation: It would be helpful to see the word in a sentence. There are almost no hits for "Subcianótica" in Spanish. I've found "palidez subcianótica" http://www.aeped.es/sites/default/files/anales/45-6-21.pdf so the "sub" means "borderline" or "approaching" cyanosis, when the skin is pale, but not blue yet. I wondered about subclinical, but then there would be no signs at all on the skin, but just a low O2 sat, so I don't think that's exactly the case. Peripheral isn't the same. It refers to blue fingers, etc. rather than central cyanosis that is more generalised and affects the whole body. borderline cyanosis http://cardioiap.org/TAPVD.pdf Only a confidence level of 2 because, like Subcianótica, it isn't used much :) |

subcyanotic Explanation: The literal term works here... "Variations of venous pressure in conditions other than cardiac decompensation occur, obesity, pregnancy, the menopause, pneumothorax (tuberculosis), mediastinal disease, and emphysema and dyspnea resulting from it. Kroetz, in 1922, showed a rise in venous pressure in pneumothorax. "Essential venous hypertension" might be mentioned. Engorged jugular veins, passive congestion in the lungs and elsewhere, cyanosis or ***subcyanosis***, and... http://jama.ama-assn.org/content/101/6/464.2.extract "The skin remained pink in small infants even when blood oxygen levels were relatively low; the term ***"subcyanotic*** anoxia" was coined as a label for the unusual circumstance.
