HAND WASHES THE MOST IMPORTANT PROCESS
Introduction
Currently, hand washing is one of the most important and necessary processes in the field of health. However, years ago this process was not considered of importance. According to Estipula Benito, Ignacio Semmelweis was the first to notice the importance of hand washing just observing. According to the author, in the Hospice General of Vienna, Semmelweis discovered that women who gave birth at the hospital were prone to many fevers, compared to women who gave birth to their homes in their homes. So much so, a mortality of 30% inside and 15% outside due to the fever that follows the childbirth was measured.
According to Prego, ‘Semmelweis came to cross out the doctors of the era of murderers for remaining impassive before the death of hundreds of women’. This is why, he begged women who did not go to them to give birth. According to Benito, Ignacio Semmelweis developed a theory which established that women who constantly received visits from doctors and students who just left the operating room became ill and died more. However, the brilliant idea of placing a sink and disinfectant soap came up, which forced all staff to wash their hands. So much so that bacteria reduced 10%.
This was done without the authorization of the person in charge of the clinic at that time, the DR. Klein, according to the article when it was discovered that washing your hands saves lives. Months later ‘Klein did not grace the matter and personally took care of putting his partner against his partner until he achieved his banishment’, that is, he was expelled, according to Apezteguia. On the other hand, Belaustegui (S.F.), comments that Semmelweis distributed banners like this: ‘Open letter to all the teachers of Obstetrics: I would have liked that my discovery was of physical order, because the light is explained as explained not for that reason stop lighting up, nothing depends onof physicists.
My discovery, alas!, It depends on the stumps. And with this everything is said. Killer! I call all those who oppose the rules that I have prescribed to avoid puerperal fever. Against them, I get up as an adversary resolved, as one should rise against supporters of a crime! For me, there is no other way to treat them than as murderers. And everyone who has the heart in their place will think like me! It is not necessary to close the maternity rooms so that the disasters that we deplore cease, but it is convenient.
conclusion
This action led him to depression, even dried crazy. Although he was pointed out as a madman and sick by his teammates, later his theory was approved, which is why Ignacio Semmelweis is today recognized as ‘El Salvador de Mothers’, according to Prego. In conclusion, a patient’s life depends on hand washing. In our hands many microorganisms are stored, so it is important to wash their hands with soap and water before and after attending a patient.
If this procedure is not carried out by nurses or doctors, it can cause infections, even the death of patients as happened several years ago. Today, the accessibility that is made to sinks in hospitals is greater, compared to previous years that was not allowed.
