Gustav Adolf Neuber (* 24. June 1850 in Tondern; "† 13 April 1932 in Kiel) was a German physician.

Life

Neubers parents were the pharmacist Gustav Adolf Neuber senior from Meldorf, and the Kielerin Fanny, geb. Schweffel. The family Schweffel was a prominent family in Kiel. Neubers grandfather, senator Johann Schweffel (1796 - 1865), was together with August Howaldt, owner of the mechanical engineering institute and iron foundry Schweffel and Howaldt, from which the Howaldtswerft came out later. Neuber was the third child of its parents, which remained only until 1853 in Tondern and pulled from there after Uetersen. Its school time spent Gustav Adolf Neuber in Meldorf and Altona, where it insisted the Abitur on the Christianeum. Subsequently, it participated as a one year's in the war 1870/71. Here it served No. 11 in the Hussar regiment. After the war studied Neuber medicine in Leipzig, resounds, to Vienna and Kiel. To 8. It attained a doctorate to March 1875 in pouring. At the end of of 1875 it passed its medical state examination in keel after a Intermezzo as an upper medical officer of the Serbian army in the Serbian-Turkish war 1876 returned it to Kiel and became there in the surgical university clinic a first assistant with Friedrich Esmarch (1823 - 1908),1878 married Neuber the German Australian Anna cook, daughter of an owner of throwing from Sandhurst. With their it had 4 children: Fritz (geb. 1879), Carl seriousness (1883-1946), Anna Maria (geb. 1886) and Otto (1888-1916). In the last years of its life Neuber at increasing dementia suffered. It died on 13 April 1932 in Kiel at pneumonia and on the south cemetery was buried.

Work

Neuber submitted 1878 its Habilitation under Esmarchs line. The topic of its Habilitations work concerned operations under artificial blood emptiness at the lower arm. After giving venia legendi it represented Esmarch regularly with absence. This meant not only Urlaubsvertretung, but also with causes like foreign lectures, congress attendance or Esmarchs frequent stays in health spas, as is to be inferred from the faculty books of that time. Neubers researcher urge went at first into many directions. An outstanding position took a publication over the aseptischen continuous federation (1881), for which it admits in the contemporary professional world became. 1884 it publicised for the first time in a publication the use of separate areas of operations for September tables and not September tables operations and suggested considering this principle with the plant of new hospitals. A structural drawing for such a model hospital, which had been sketched under Neubers guidance by the building master by Mueller, was shown 1884 on the hygiene exhibition in Berlin. Operating under the Lister' schen Karbolspray, which should kill the germs in the area of operations and prevent Wundinfektionen in such a way, was the standard method at present, when Neuber was a first assistant with Esmarch. However increasingly also the disadvantages of the Karbolsprays turned out. Neuber made thereupon, and ignored attempts with alternative solutions without Karbol, first with boron finally 0,6%ige saline solution to only use (1884). Inspired of the famous work from the year 1878 Neuber was convinced investigations on the of the Wundinfektionskrankheiten of Robert cook of the fact that these realizations for the treatment of infected wounds and the elimination of the infection would have to be made usable during the operation. Thus it attached great importance to most embarrassing cleaning of the instruments, the inventory and the clothes of the operating surgeons. Likewise it developed a new construction for operation instruments, which could be sterilized now by Auskochen. The moreover it interspersed that the dressing material before the use had to be sterilized. Its suggestions on the building of new areas of operations in the surgical university clinic were however not obeyed with the renovation partly, the separation between September tables and aseptischen operations, demanded by it. Also its regulations for the OI personnel to wash itself before the work were gone around again and again. Finally diversities of opinion and misunderstandings led to the fact that Neuber gave its position up in Esmarchs hospital 1883/84. As a private lecturer it held however further training meetings in the university.

After first successes of its ideas in a newly built hospital in Gaarden Neuber 1886 opened its own (with the money of its wife) newly built private hospital at the king way No. 8 in Kiel. He lived with his family at the king way 4 and had in his house also the patients of the 1. Class accommodated. This step introduced a recent time in the surgery and the hospital system. Because the hospital possessed special and venting systems as well as special heater and drainage facilities. Five operating rooms stood for order, with everywhere as smooth a surfaces as possible, into the walls for inserted glass cabinets, washable tile walls, wash rooms for the operation personnel and strict separation between septischer and more aseptischer department with these measures carried out it as the first the today's principles of the Asepsis and them became pointing the way for the hospital and its mechanism in the medical world. 1919 handed the hospital to Neuber over at the king way the Kieler Anscharkrankenhaus, which today after a change Elizabeth hospital is called. At the entrance a Gedenktafel reminds the 1950 from cause of Gustav Adolf Neuber, its 100. Birthday one attached. Hospital Neuber remained further faithful to the Gaardener. Here the patients of third class were operated and maintained. Daily Neuber with the ferry drove over the in order to make and on several days of the week operate Visite there. The health insurance obligation existing since 1883 guaranteed also sufficient fees.
