****(decided to be my article. The citations and part about ductus arteriosus were the assignments for adding a citation and copy edit) Helen B. Taussig: known for her "Blue Baby" surgery which corrected the defective hearts of many children- known to be found the pediatric cardiology division. This article has a wonderful biography and brief synopsis of her career. It does not really go much into the techniques she applied however. The career section can be added to.
- Blue Baby syndrome- not getting enough oxygen.
resulted as a consequence of the closure of the ductus arteriosus, which allows the heart to be directly transferred from the pulmonary arteries to the aorta as a fetus [1]. The lungs have not fully developed yet in the fetus and most of the oxygen is obtained from the mother's placenta [2].
Helen B. Taussig attended Harvard's School of Public Health, though she aspired to be a physician. At the time, women were not allowed to obtain a degree in medicine from Harvard, so Taussig attended Boston University School of Medicine [3]. There, with the encouragement of her professor Alexander Begg, she decided to pursue further studies into the heart. Begg also aided her acceptance in to Johns Hopkins School of Medicine [3].
In 1930, Helen B. Taussig became of the head of Harriet Lane Home, a Pediatric Cardiac Clinic [3]. She fulfilled her duties as the head until 1963 when she retired [3].
During her early career she studied babies with congenital heart defects as well as rheumatic fever. The latter is a consequence of of streptococcus infection [3]. This interest eventually led to her finding a possible method of treatment for "Blue Baby Syndrome."
After proposing the idea to Alfred Blalock, the team consisting of Taussig, Blalock, and Thomas, experimented the procedure on around 200 dogs [4]. Then Taussig received a severely affected patient, who received the first trial of the procedure: Eileen Saxon [4]. Saxon was believed to be a textbook case of the "Blue Baby Syndrome" with apparent features, such as a tinge in blue lips [4]. The procedure itself was successful. However, Saxon contrived recurrent stenosis, deteriorated her condition, ultimately leading to her fatality [4].
