The fact that the lowest value of oxygen unsaturation (in the venous blood) associated with cyanosis is about 8 volumes per cent seems to indicate that this amount of reduced hemoglobin is the lowest capable of producing a cyanotic color. We shall later discuss this point more in detail. Table III sho...

Training for health risk assessment is one of the factors that might help in lowering the mortality of premature neonates. The paper describes the design approach to develop a premature neonate simulator showing colorization of the facial skin to simulate cyanosis to ...
