Excerpt from Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1922-1923, Vol. 20: Including the Pacific Coast Branch, Minnesota Branch, Western New York Branch, and Peking (China) Branch Some eight years ago, while teaching anaesthesia, the writer became impressed with the need of a clinical measure of cyanosis. The general term, or, even its gradations spoken of as marked, moderate, or a mild degree of cyanosis, conveyed no accurate idea of the condition under observation. Furthermore, it was noted that when an observer had been with a patient for some time, his appreciation or registration of a color witnessed be came less acute. It is a common occurrence for a spectator to enter an operating room and be struck by the patient's cyanosis, the condition having been imperceptibly increased under the color wearied gaze of the anaesthetist. A standard measure ot'oyan osis, therefore, serves two purposes. It provides data relative to the degree of cyanosis present and provides a criterion for the color wearied vision of the constant observer. That there has been a general failure to meet the demand for a measure of cyanosis is possibly due to a rather unique and widely accepted impression that where there is cyanosis there must be an increased tension of carbon dioxide. This accidental association of carbon dioxide and cyanosis has so complicated the matter of measuring cyanosis that, to the average medical mind, the solution was quite out of the question. To brush away the cobwebs of carbon dioxide as an element affecting the color of the blood is to reduce the problem to its simplest terms.
