First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study looks at whether giving very premature babies (born before 32 weeks and weighing less than 3.3 pounds) frequent, standardized mouth care every 3-4 hours can reduce harmful bacteria and lower the risk of lung infections like pneumonia. Researchers will compare this to care given every 12 hours. The goal is to see if a simple, low-cost routine can improve breathing outcomes for these fragile infants.
