The Effect of Two Different Oral Care Solutions on Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia and Oral Health of Mechanically Ventilated Patients in the Intensive Care Unit
Sponsor: Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi
Summary
The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the effects of two different oral care solutions on ventilator-associated pneumonia and oral health in mechanically ventilated participants in the intensive care unit. Did oral health improve in participants who used cetylpyridinium chloride? Did pneumonia develop? Did oral health improve in participants who used chlorhexidine chloride? Did pneumonia develop? The results will be evaluated by giving oral care to the participants with these solutions for 5 days with the same protocol.
