Brief Summary:
Literature suggests that suction toothbrushes may improve oral care in intubated patients by facilitating secretion removal and reducing microaspiration. This could decrease the need for endotracheal suctioning and lower the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of a suction toothbrush on the development of VAP in intubated patients.
Detailed Description:
in the literature examining the superiority of a suction toothbrush over another regarding the frequency of oral care practices, appropriate solution and material use in intubated patients. It is believed that a suction toothbrush will both facilitate oral care and clear oral secretions. By minimizing secretion accumulation in the mouth, it will prevent microaspiration and reduce the need for endotracheal suctioning in patients. Determining the most effective oral care method is expected to reduce the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia and positively impact patient mortality. Considering all this information, the aim of this study was to examine the effect of a suction toothbrush on the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia in intubated patients.
