First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study aims to develop and test a new tool called the Mouth Assessment Tool (MAT) for patients in intensive care who have a breathing tube in their mouth. The tool is designed to help nurses assess the condition of the mouth, which can be affected by the tube. Researchers will test the tool on 500 adult ICU patients to see if it is reliable and accurate.
