Philip M. Mininberg [1] (November 12, 1886 – March 19, 1951) was a Russian Empire-born American obstetrician. He owned and operated Brooklyn Doctors Hospital, formerly the Borough Park Maternity Hospital. [2] He also owned a nurses' residence across the street. [3]
The application of adrenalin on a boy described as born dead was first made on babies by Philip Mininberg. [4] [5]
Mininberg [6] was born in Poltava, Russian Empire in 1886 [7] and brought to the United States as a child. He received his medical diploma from New York University in 1915. [2] [8]
In 1923, Mininberg successfully revived "by unusual means" a baby boy (a twin to a girl) born apparently dead. [5] The key was that he "pierced the chest wall" and injected a solution of adrenalin directly into the heart. [9] That baby weighed more than two pounds; in 1949, the technique was used on a 15 oz. premature infant. [10]
Mininberg practiced medicine in Brooklyn beginning in 1915. The last 28 years of his life he owned and operated Brooklyn Doctors Hospital (formerly Boro Park Maternity Hospital). [2]
Mininberg died of a stroke in 1951. [11] He was survived by his wife, their three children, four sisters, and a grandson. [2]
and a nurses' residence at 4420 15th Ave.
