- Original description
Poor dental hygiene has been linked to respiratory pathogen colonization in ICU patients. Therefore, respiratory pathogens tend to colonize dental plaque and oral mucosa in these populations. Therefore, strategies to eliminate respiratory pathogens from the oral cavity may improve oral hygiene and decrease the development of nosocomial pneumonia.Read full original descriptionShow less
Routine Oral Care Versus Chlorhexidine Oral Care on Incidence of Nosocomial Pneumonia and Oral Health Among Critically Ill Non-intubated Patients With COPD
Poor dental hygiene has been linked to respiratory pathogen colonization in ICU patients. Therefore, respiratory pathogens tend to colonize dental plaque and oral mucosa in these populations. Therefore, strategies to eliminate respiratory pathogens from the oral cavity may improve oral hygiene and decrease the development of nosocomial pneumonia.
Inclusion: Patients diagnosed as COPD; admitted to ICU with acute exacerbation; need for noninvasive ventilatory support including noninvasive ventilation anf high flow nasal cannula.
Exclusion: End stage organ failure (Heart Failure, Liver cell failure and/or Renal failure; patients refusing to participate.
