Filter by:The aim of the research was to examine the effect of oral care bundle application on oral health, salivary pH (power of hydrogen), dry mouth and ventilator associated pneumonia in intubated patients compared to standard oral care.
Between available therapies for dry mouth is electrostimulation. Using an extra-oral device like TENS - which result in a statistically significant - increases the quantity of whole salivary flow rate production in xerostomia patients. The use of acupuncture as an alternative treatment modality for xerostomia has been documented in the Western medical field since the 1980s. Observational studies have demonstrated that acupuncture treatment may increase salivary flow in healthy volunteers.
