Clinical Trial Summary

Ventilator-associated pneumonia and ventilator-associated treakeabronchitis in respiratory tract infections associated with ventilator are common infections in intensive care unit and cause significant morbidity, mortality and health expenditures in nosocomial infections. Adequate and effective oral care by nurses in intensive care patients, possible complications, intensive care unit stay in the intensive care unit and is very important in terms of mortality.

Description:

The aim of this study will (1) evaluate the effect of 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate on ventilator-associated pneumonia, ventilator-associated treakeabronchitis, (2) determine the effect of preventing microorganism colonization, and (3) assess the mortality rate for each patient and the cost-effectiveness in the health expenditures.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Pathogen colonization change	We will examine microbiological analyses ( mini-BAL, oropharyngeal and tracheal secretions)	change from baseline pathogen colonization at Day 3
Primary	Oral assessment guide score change	The score ranges from 8 to 24 and higher scores indicating worse oral health	at the time of admission into the study (day 0), at study day 2 and at day 3
Primary	Clinical pulmonary infection score change	The score ranges from 0 to 12 (ventilator-associated pneumonia = 6 )	at the time of admission into the study (day 0), at study day 2 and at day 3
Primary	rate of tracheobronchitis change	Questionary (use the rate of tracheobronchitis categories)	change from baseline the rate of tracheobronchitis at Day 3
Secondary	cost effectiveness	We used the decision tree modelling for estimating the cost-effectiveness of antiseptic solutions.	Day 30
Secondary	Mortality	rate of mortality	Day 7 and Day 28
