Most of these terms refer to poor perfusion and imply there is inadequate blood flow to the tissues of the skin. Assessing peripheral tissue perfusion is important in the clinical examination of a neonate since it can help determine who may have low systemic blood flow or cardiovascular failure. Recent studies have shown correlations between poor outcomes and peripheral hypoperfusion in preterm infants.
