Comparing three mouth care methods for ICU patients on non-invasive ventilation
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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 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 develops a new tool to check the health of the mouth in patients who have a breathing tube in their throat while in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to help nurses better assess and care for the mouth.
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.
