Brief Summary: Oro-tracheal Intubation uses oro-pharyngeal lesions impacting on the length and quality of the patients hospital stay

There are no oral status assessment tools specifically adapted to orally intubated patients

It is therefore necessary to create a new tool for assessing the condition of the oral cavity specific to oro-intubated patients in intensive care

The aim of the protocol is to evaluate the metrological performance of the newly-developed tool for assessing the state of the oral cavity in adult orally intubated intensive care patients
Detailed Description: In France according to the medicalized information system program national database 230000 adults are admitted to the intensive care unit every year 40 of them undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation Thats 90000 patients for whom an Oro-Tracheal Intubation OTI tube is inserted through the mouth into the trachea

OTI causes oro-pharyngeal lesions impacting on the length and quality of the patients hospital stay

As early as 48 hours after admission to intensive care the patients oral and dental condition deteriorates Pressure lesions can occur with the OTI probe responsible for 22 to 26 of pressure sores related to invasive equipment Anarchic chewing also causes injuries to lips tongue gums mucosa and teeth

In time these injuries can lead to swallowing disorders a mechanism for feeding and protecting the airways and impair the patients quality of life

Caregivers in intensive care units have developed mouth care protocols to maintain hygiene and comfort and prevent lesions that can spread from the lips to the trachea during OTI

Many mouth care protocols exist but there is no gold standard Certain practices are encouraged as part of the prevention of Ventilator-Acquired Pneumonia VAP mainly tooth brushing Mouth care practices in France remain highly heterogeneous In order to improve practices it is essential not only to have best practice guidelines for preventing and treating lesions but also to have appropriate and valid tools for assessing the oral condition of intubated patients Good assessment is a prerequisite for good treatmentcare

To investigators knowledge there are no oral status assessment tools specifically adapted to intubated patients

Tools do exist for populations at risk due to age or chemotherapy but these have often been created without multidisciplinary advice validated in a population without OTI and do not allow for an assessment of the state of the oral cavity appropriate to the problems of intubated patients

It is therefore necessary to create a new tool for assessing the condition of the oral cavity specific to oro-intubated patients in intensive care by bringing together experts in intensive care oral health hygiene wound healing and patient partners and to validate it in this patient population The tool must also be relevant to the fields of competence of nurses for use in daily practice

The aim of the protocol is to evaluate the metrological performance of the newly-developed tool for assessing the state of the oral cavity in adult oro-intubated intensive care patients
