The Efficacy of Adjuvant Oral Care in Prevention of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia.

"The intervention mentioned in this study involves a combination of oral care strategies for patients in the intervention group. These strategies include:~Chlorhexidine Mouthwash: Patients in the intervention group will receive Chlorhexidine mouthwash. Chlorhexidine is known for its effectiveness in maintaining oral hygiene.~Toothbrushing: In addition to Chlorhexidine mouthwash, patients in the intervention group will undergo toothbrushing. This involves cleaning the teeth and surrounding oral tissues to ensure thorough oral hygiene.~Moisturizing Gel Application: The intervention group will also receive the application of moisturizing gel on the interior and exterior surfaces of the oral cavity. This helps in maintaining the moisture content of the oral tissues.~These interventions aim to enhance oral care beyond traditional methods, potentially reducing the risk of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) and improving overall patient outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU)."

"In the control arm, patients receive the intervention known as Traditional Oral Care. This involves the use cotton swab dipped in 0.2% Chlorhexidine mouthwash for oral hygiene."
