Summary
This study tested whether using a suction toothbrush—a tool that cleans teeth and removes saliva at the same time—can help prevent lung infections in intensive care patients who are on breathing machines. Researchers compared this method to standard oral care in 111 adults. The goal was to see if the suction toothbrush lowers the chance of developing ventilator-associated pneumonia, a common and serious complication.
