Hypoxia -- Decreased concentration of oxygen in the tissues. While blood flow and pressure may be normal, a lowered oxygen saturation point can cause this condition in asthmatics. Comes from hypo (lower than normal) and oxygen. Normal oxygen concentration is called normoxia. The organ most critically affected by hypoxia is, of course, the brain. Not something we want to mess with in our little ones.
Cyanosis -- The blue discoloration of skin, nailbeds, and mucous membranes that indicates low level of oxygen in the blood.
Sweat (Chloride) Test -- Common test for Cystic Fibrosis, whose symptoms can be very similar to asthma. When a child begins to present asthma symptoms a sweat test is typically done to rule out CF as a cause. The child's forearm or shin is electrically stimulated to produce perspiration, which is then measured for salt (chloride) content using a special digital machine. Too much salt in the sweat indicates CF. A borderline reading will usually result in retesting. It is not painful and usually takes about an hour or less from start to finish. Sometimes two locations are tested (left and right forearms) for quality control. For more information on sweat testing, visit www.cff.org.
