Comparison of Two Strategies of Oropharyngeal and Tracheal Suctioning in Mechanically Ventilated Patients
Sponsor: University Hospital, Bordeaux
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of an optimized suctioning procedure on the risk of endotracheal microaspiration, measured by tracheal to oropharyngeal ratio of amylase enzymatic activity.

Conditions
Interventions
Optimized oral care
An optimization of the oropharyngeal suction procedure will include use of a subglottic drainage in a specified order: 1. subglottic suction, 1.oral suction followed by mouth care 3. subglottic suction 4. tracheal suction
Routine oral care
Oral suction followed by mouth care and tracheal suction without any subglottic suction
