Sponsor's own description

Many problems may develop in patients due to mechanical ventilation in intensive care units. These include ventilator-associated pneumonia, decreased cerebral perfusion, venous air embolism, sinus and eye infections, neuromuscular dysfunctions and skin sores may be seen in intensive care patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. If adequate oral hygiene is not provided in patients on mechanical ventilation support, dry mouth, halitosis, disruption of tissue integrity in and around the mouth, intraoral infections and periodontal diseases may occur. Most importantly, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VIP) may develop in patients dependent on mechanical ventilation due to deficient oral care. Chlorhexidine solution is widely used in oral care. However, there is a need for evidence about the frequency of oral care with which chlorhexidine solution on oral mucous membrane integrity in patients under mechanical ventilation support. Oral care frequency was not examined in these existing studies. Therefore, this study was planned to determine the effect of three different oral care frequencies on the integrity of the oral mucous membrane in patients connected to mechanical ventilators.
