Effectiveness of Dental Brushing for Preventing Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia — RASPALL  

Pneumonia Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effectiveness of Dental Brushing for Preventing Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia

Clinical Trial Summary

Poor oral hygiene is associated with respiratory pathogen colonization and secondary lung infection.The possible association between oral care and incidence of VAP, and the role of dental plaque, mouth and tracheal colonization have not been firmly established. The investigators' hypothesis was that improving oral care with electrical toothbrushing might be effective in reducing the incidence of VAP.
