La fiebre puerperal devastaba Europa a mediados del siglo XIX. Esta enfermedad provocaba la muerte de casi la mitad de las parturientas. Nadie sab\u00eda la causa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Una teor\u00eda, cuya creencia estaba muy extendida, culpaba a los aires nocivos. De hecho, se hicieron numerosos agujeros en muros y puertas de muchos hospitales en un intento desesperado de mejorar la ventilaci\u00f3n. Incluso se instal\u00f3 un costoso sistema de circulaci\u00f3n de aire en alguna cl\u00ednica de maternidad europea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Todas las inversiones y estudios de la comunidad cient\u00edfica fueron en vano y el miedo se extendi\u00f3 tanto que muchas mujeres comenzaron a dar a luz deliberadamente en sus hogares atendidas por parteras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Semmelweis estaba obsesionado con la tasa de mortalidad en los partos. \u00c9l trabajaba en un hospital de Viena donde atend\u00eda una sala de maternidad. Realizaba observaciones y analizaba datos censales intentando comprender el origen del problema, sin \u00e9xito alguno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un d\u00eda, perdido en un laberinto de papeles y n\u00fameros estad\u00edsticos, observ\u00f3 que las mujeres que daban a luz en salas asistidas por m\u00e9dicos ten\u00edan una tasa de mortalidad mucho mayor en comparaci\u00f3n con aquellas atendidas por parteras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elabor\u00f3 una teor\u00eda. \u201cAlgo invisible se transmite por las manos\u201d. Introdujo una medida revolucionaria: lavarse las manos con una soluci\u00f3n de cloro antes de asistir a las parturientas. Inmediatamente la tasa de mortalidad se desplom\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Semmelweis public\u00f3 su descubrimiento, pero fue despedido, ignorado, criticado y ridiculizado. Sus hallazgos ganaron amplia aceptaci\u00f3n s\u00f3lo a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s de su muerte, cuando Louis Pasteur confirm\u00f3 la teor\u00eda de los g\u00e9rmenes como causantes de las infecciones. Hoy, es considerado como el creador de los procedimientos antis\u00e9pticos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Semmelweis no ten\u00eda conocimientos matem\u00e1ticos, ni formaba parte de un selecto equipo de investigadores, no ten\u00eda un laboratorio de investigaci\u00f3n ni tampoco era su trabajo. Entonces \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 encontr\u00f3 la soluci\u00f3n antes que los dem\u00e1s?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Las soluciones m\u00e1s efectivas y transformadoras provienen de un profundo y cercano conocimiento previo del problema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
