Toothbrush vs sponge: the fight against ICU pneumonia
NCT ID NCT07283380
Summary
This study aims to find the best way to clean the mouths of patients on breathing machines in intensive care to prevent a dangerous lung infection called ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Researchers will compare using a small toothbrush to using a sponge stick on 72 patients over five days. They will check for germs in the mouth and monitor for signs of pneumonia to see which cleaning tool works better.
