Abstract:
Objective To explore the effectiveness of long-acting antibacterial material that was used as an intervention in oral care cavity nursing in patients with endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. Methods Patients admitted to Xuzhou Medical College Hospital neurosurgery intensive care unit between 1st December 2013 and 31st August 2014 requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation were enrolled into the study. There were 100 cases randomly selected and were assigned into control group and experimental group by random number table. Each contained 50 cases. Control group used saline for oral care by brushing and irrigation;experimental group used antimicrobial material oral spray in oral care on the top of the method used in control group. The mouth odor, mouth infection rate and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) rate were used to determine. Results About oral odor, mouth infection rate, and VAP rate, the difference of incidences between experimental group and the control group was significant (χ2=4.504-13.728, P <0.05). Conclusions Antimicrobial material can effectively improve oral health in intubated and mechanical ventilated patients. It slows oral acidic environment change, reduces oral infections early onset VAP incidence. And it is worth promoting its use.
