A Comparative Study of Three Oral Care Methods in NIMV Patients in Intensive Care
Sponsor: SÜMEYYE BİLGİLİ TEKİN
Summary
This study aims to examine the effects of different oral care methods on oral health in patients receiving non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) in the intensive care unit. A randomized controlled experimental design will be employed, with three groups: Control Group - patients receiving only the standard chlorhexidine oral care kit; Electric Toothbrush Group - patients receiving the chlorhexidine kit in combination with an electric toothbrush and toothpaste; and Manual Toothbrush Group - patients receiving the chlorhexidine kit along with a manual toothbrush and toothpaste. Data collection tools will include the Patient Demographic Information Form, Oral Assessment Guide, saliva pH measurement, and salivation assessment using the Schirmer Tear Test Strip. The study is designed to compare the effects of different oral care methods on the oral health of patients receiving NIMV and to identify the most effective method.
