Title: Why orthopedic pa􀆟 ents s􀆟 ll catch hospital infec􀆟 ons despite the prac􀆟 ce of infec􀆟 on preven􀆟 on and control programs & can hospital Osteomyeli􀆟 s be treated without the use of an􀆟 bio􀆟 cs?

Biography:

Huang Wei Ling has graduated in medicine in Brazil, specialist in infec􀆟 ous and parasi􀆟 c diseases. She is a General Prac􀆟 􀆟 oner and Parenteral and Enteral Medical Nutri􀆟 on
Therapist. Once in charge of the Hospital Infecô€†Ÿ on Control Service of the City of Franca’s General Hospital, she was responsible for the control of all prescribed anô€†Ÿ microbial
medica􀆟 on and received an award for the best paper presented at the Brazilian Hospital Infec􀆟 on Control Congress in 1998. Since 1997, she works with the approach and
treatment of all diseases of all systems of the human body in a holis􀆟 c way, with treatment guided through the teachings of Tradi􀆟 onal Chinese Medicine and Hippocrates.

Abstract

Statement of the problem: Very few publica􀆟 ons provide
sound scien􀆟 fi c data used to determine which components
are essen􀆟 al for Infec􀆟 on Preven􀆟 on and Control (IPC)
programs in terms of eff ec􀆟 veness in reducing the risk
of infec􀆟 on. As surgical procedures are common in the
orthopedics specialty, the diffi culty in preven􀆟 ng infec􀆟 ons
infl uences the orthopedic treatment outcome. The purpose
of this study was to show why pa􀆟 ents s􀆟 ll catch hospital
infec􀆟 ons despite IPC programs. A be􀆩 er understanding of
a variety of theories could explain the physiopathology of
diverse diseases described in the medical past history, as
in Tradi􀆟 onal Chinese Medicine. A broader view seems to
show the necessity of seeing the pa􀆟 ent completely; not
only focusing on the disease in the preven􀆟 on of these
hospital infec􀆟 ons. The methodology used was a review
of these theories such as those presented by Hippocrates
(“Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.”),
as well as others from oriental medicine, which explain that
diseases originate from three factors: external (exposure to
cold, heat, humidity, wind and dryness), internal (emo􀆟 onal)
and dietary.
Findings: Having a broader view of the pa􀆟 ent as a whole
(Yin, Yang, Qi, Blood energy and Heat reten􀆟 on), we can
understand be􀆩 er the forma􀆟 on of hospital infec􀆟 on which
is a systemic energy reac􀆟 on of the body undergoing normal
hospital treatment.
Conclusion: To understand be􀆩 er why pa􀆟 ents are s􀆟 ll
catching hospital infec􀆟 ons, despite IPC programs, we need
to broaden our view observing all emo􀆟 onal, environmental
and dietary factors, as well as studying the energy imbalance
at the moment of admi􀆩 ance, or prior to the orthopedic
surgery. Every pa􀆟 ent is unique and to achieve a more
successful treatment, it is important to individualize them.
Therefore, it is possible to iden􀆟 fy those who have more risk
of hospital infec􀆟 on, studying them in their energy levels.
