Still, we have patients in the state, as far as cyanosis and agonal type respiration, who are resuscitatable.
That's not a lay term either, but when the patient is in oxygen need or oxygen want, cyanosis would be apparent.
Hofmann[753] says that the cyanosis appears during the agony because of paralysis of the circulation and gravitation of blood.
Cyanosis may occur, and the patient may appear to be asphyxiated.
The cyanosis of the face, projection of the eyes, and congestion of the conjunctivæ are due to the expiratory effort.
After two treatments standing became normal and walking was much improved, the tremor ceased, cyanosis and hyperidrosis disappeared, and the movements of the bowels and urination became normal.
Achilles reflex on the left side, cyanosis and hypothermia of the left foot, weakness and limitation of movements in the left foot, with slight contracture in flexion of leg upon thigh.
The next day the hypnosis was repeated and the cyanosis of the legs disappeared.
Should marked symptoms of exhaustion or of cyanosis arise, the bathing should be at once stopped.
The paroxysms which have given the name to this disease can only be likened to an epileptic convulsion, which by gradually increasing cyanosis is self-curable, the carbonized blood finally bringing about an anæsthetic effect.
It has been repeatedly shown that in a cyanosed arm the systolic pressure is raised so that even slight cyanosis between readings must be carefully avoided.
Striking cyanosis is an early symptom, while there is little if any dyspnea and edema.
There werecyanosis and rales throughout both chests.
Cyanosis comes on, the pulse becomes weak, irregular or intermittent, heart failure sets in, and the patient dies with edema of the lungs.
Sooner or later, if this lesion is actually present, the right ventricle dilates and cyanosis and dyspnea occur.
If there are such serious conditions as edema, ascites, lung congestion, cyanosis and great dyspnea, the prognosis is dire.
If the congestion of the lungs is very great, and death seems imminent from cardiac paralysis, if cyanosis is serious, and bloody.
The dyspnea is sometimes very great, and cyanosis may be present, especially during paroxysms of coughing.
Cyanosis is only an accompaniment of suddenly produced dyspnea; the facies will therefore usually be anxious and pale, unless the patient is seen immediately after the aspiration of the foreign body.
Diagnosis must be made without waiting for cyanosis which may never appear.
Cyanosis is seen at first, later giving place to pallid asphyxia when cardiac failure occurs.
