Overview

Cyanosis was first described by Sandifort, an European, in 1777 described a "blue boy" with tetralogy of Fallot. Blalock and Taussid performed the first anastomosis of subclavian to pulmonary artery on November 9, 1944 to lessen the cyanosis in tetralogy of Fallot. United States' Olympian and gold medalist Shaun White was born with tetralogy of Fallot and had cyanosis because of that.

Historical Perspective

Discovery

  • Cyanosis was first described by Sandifort, an European, in 1777 described a "blue boy" with tetralogy of Fallot.[1]
  • In 1785, William Hunter described cyanosis as "When the fit  was coming..he grew oppressed at his heart, became weak or faint, grew dark in his color, and at last almost black , fell down and seemed insensible....a very small quantity if blood (instead of the whole) passed through the lungs to receive the benefit of respiration and that with a small force too."

Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies

Famous Cases

  • United States' Olympian and gold medalist Shaun White was born with tetralogy of Fallot and had cyanosis because of that.
