Ratner Gregory Larson LISTER EAND ANTVSE PS l S Hospital wards of the 19th century were indeed ,crowded with post-operative ,patients who had .septic complications, sol much so that-1 out of 3 surgical patients died of .such post-op problems. Joseph Lister, a surgeonwwho decided to Hind out why suppuration occurs, postulated that living organisms were responsible for wound infectionsa In 1865 at they Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Lister sought to prove His theory by taking a young boy's compound leg, fracture and wrapping the wound with carbolic acid dressing. Previously, wound infection had sofrequently complicated compound fractures that eventual amputation had been the virtual rule. The boy's-fle,g'healed completely, and Lister subsequently extended his antiseptic principles to 'include scrubbing one 's hands before surgery, immersing, linstrumentsi in carbolic acid, and . draping the surgical field with towels soaked in antiseptic solution.
