Abstract

Color may be a matter of life and death. There is probably no circumstance where the visual evaluation of color is more critical than in certain medical applications. Our first article in this issue deals with one such situation. The rapid onset of cyanosis, a blue coloration of the skin and mucous membranes usually associated with a decreased amount of oxygen in the blood, may be a medical emergency. The accurate assessment of a patient’s color can lead to the early detection of cyanosis. In the past, illumination requirements that specified color temperature and color-rendering index were sufficient to ensure appropriate lighting for the detection of cyanosis. However, with the replacement of many tradition fluorescent lamps with triphosphor technology, there is a need for reevaluation of the acceptance criteria. In ‘‘A method for evaluating the acceptability of light sources for clinical visual 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. evaluation of cyanosis,’’ Stephen Dain, John W.
