Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if a 4 day oral care program in patients who have been on a breathing machine results in better oral health, reduces the amount of certain bacteria in the mouth and reduces infection while in the hospital. The plan is to test the specific hypotheses that a standardized oral care protocol: 1. Results in improved oral health compared to standard care, 2. Reduces the rate of Staphylococcus aureus / methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and 3. Reduces the risk of healthcare-associated infections.
Primary Outcome
The overall purpose of this project is to develop an evidence-based oral care protocol for acutely ill hospitalized patients and determine the impact of this protocol on health outcomes in recently extubated patients. The aim is to assess the impact of an oral care protocol on the following rate of oral colonization with Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA)
Interventions
- PROCEDURE 4-day systematic oral hygiene
- OTHER Standard of Care oral care
