First seen Mar 20, 2026 · Last updated May 26, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests three different mouth care methods—colostrum (early breast milk), chlorhexidine (an antiseptic), and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)—against plain salt water to see which best prevents ventilator-associated pneumonia in premature babies. About 80 preterm infants on breathing machines will take part. The goal is to find a simple, safe way to reduce serious lung infections in the NICU.
