  • Snapshot
    • An infant is brought to the emergency room for increasing cyanosis around the lips. His mother’s pregnancy was uncomplicated and he was born at 39 weeks without complications. His parents started feeding him water from their backyard well, which they have been using for years. A pulse oximetry reading shows oxygen saturation of 86%, despite supplemental oxygen administration. He is also found to be tachycardic. A CO-oximetry shows methemoglobinemia level of 15%. The patient is started on methylene blue. (Well water contaminated with nitrates)
