Blue baby syndrome, also known as simply blue baby, is a term used to describe infants with cyanosis, or blue-tinted skin. The condition develops when the organs, cells and tissues do not receive adequate oxygen, and the blood flowing through the body is blue in color instead of red, indicating poor oxygen levels.

Most common cause of blue baby syndrome is Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart disease in which four different abnormalities of the heart cause a reduction in blood oxygen. These abnormalities include ventricular septal defect (VSD), pulmonary stenosis, thickening of the right ventricle and a displaced or deviated aorta.
