'''Peripheral cyanosis''' is a type [[Cyanosis|of cyanosis]] that is most evident on the cheeks and around the mouth. Acres are cool, mucous membranes pink. The cause is slow [[blood]] flow in the periphery, which leads to greater desaturation of the peripheral blood (e.g. in blood congestion during [[Heart failure (internal)|heart failure]] ). Cyanosis is manifested only in normal or elevated [[hematocrit]] ( [[Hematocrit|polyglobulia]] ). It does not occur in anemic patients!

It often appears in [[newborns]] in the first days of life, apparently due to the unstable vasomotor reaction of the vessels and neonatal [[Hematocrit|polyglobulia]] .
