Improved mouth care for ICU patients on a breathing machine
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be in the intensive care unit and on a ventilator (breathing machine).
- There are no other specific requirements to join.

This study tests a special care routine to prevent lung infections (pneumonia) in patients on breathing machines. It may help reduce the risk of getting a ventilator-associated pneumonia.
This trial is studying rehabilitation practices for people in the ICU who need a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours. It aims to improve recovery and care for critically ill patients.
This study tests whether giving inhaled antibiotics based on a patient's own airway bacteria can prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (a lung infection from the breathing tube) in intensive care patients. It may help reduce infections in people who need a breathing tube for more than three days.
This trial tests two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. One method is more gentle on the lungs, and the goal is to see if it helps patients recover faster.
This study tests two different mouth-care solutions for patients on breathing machines, to see if they can prevent pneumonia and improve mouth health in intensive care.
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.
