Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare how effective different ways of mouth cleaning are for patients in a neuroscience intensive care unit with a breathing tube in their mouth.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients with neurological dysfunction requiring intubation and ventilation are at risk for developing ventilator acquired pneumonia. Several studies have suggested that oral hygiene plays a role in the subsequent development of pneumonia for patients in the intensive care unit requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation. ;
