This trial tests a new way to improve mouth care for patients on breathing machines in the ICU. The goal is to reduce infections and keep your mouth healthy.
This study compares three different mouth care methods for patients in the intensive care unit who are using a non-invasive ventilator (a mask or mouthpiece). The goal is to find the best way to keep the mouth clean and comortable during their stay.
This study compares three mouthwash solutions to see which one best protects mouth health in patients on breathing machines. If eligible, you might receive one of these rinses as part of daily care.
This trial tests if a simple oral suctioning routine can lower the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia in ICU patients. Your loved one may be able to join if they need a breathing tube and do not have a serious lung infection or a weakened immune system.
This study tests whether a special mouth-care routine can help prevent pneumonia (a serious lung infection) in people with COPD who are in the ICU and need breathing support. If you are in the ICU with a COPD flare-up and are using a noninvasive breathing mask or high-flow oxygen, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if using a special mouthwash (3% hydrogen peroxide) can reduce bacteria in the lungs of ICU patients on breathing machines. It may help prevent infections in people who are already very sick.
