Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to compare how effective different ways of mouth cleaning are for patients in a neuroscience intensive care unit with a breathing tube in their mouth
Detailed Description:
Patients with neurological dysfunction requiring intubation and ventilation are at risk for developing ventilator acquired pneumonia Several studies have suggested that oral hygiene plays a role in the subsequent development of pneumonia for patients in the intensive care unit requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation
