Taussig, Helen Brooke

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.46 sec.

Taussig, Helen Brooke (1898-1986)

US cardiologist who developed surgery for ‘blue’ babies. Such babies never fully develop the shunting mechanism in the circulatory system that allows blood to be oxygenated in the lungs before passing to the rest of the body. The babies are born chronically short of oxygen and usually do not survive without surgery.
