Mouth care solutions for ventilator patients in the ICU
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.

This trial tests a new oral care routine to improve mouth hygiene for patients on ventilators in the ICU. Better oral care might help prevent infections and improve recovery.
This study tests whether regular suctioning of the mouth and throat can lower the chance of developing pneumonia while on a breathing machine. It may help ICU patients who need a ventilator for more than two days.
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 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 study tests three different mouth care routines to see which one reduces bacteria in the mouth most effectively. It aims to find a simple way to prevent infections in patients who are very ill in the hospital intensive care unit.
This study compares three different mouth rinse solutions (chlorhexidine, ozonated water, and hypochlorous acid) used during daily oral care for people on breathing tubes. The goal is to see which one best keeps the inside of the mouth healthy and prevents irritation.
