Is there any difference between 1% chlorhexidine gluconate, sodium bicarbonate, ozonated water and hypochlorous acid solutions versus 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate solution used in oral care in preventing the development of VAP? Is there any difference between 1% chlorhexidine gluconate, sodium bicarbonate, ozonated water and hypochlorous acid solutions versus 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate solution used in oral care in preventing the development of VAP?

Researchers will compare 1% chlorhexidine gluconate, sodium bicarbonate, ozonated water and hypochlorous acid solutions to see if VAP

Read the detailed description

Many problems may develop in patients on mechanical ventilation support in intensive care units. The most important of these is ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by inadequate oral care in patients on mechanical ventilator support. The aim of the thesis is to examine the effect of chlorhexidine gluconate, sodium bicarbonate, ozonated water and hypochlorous acid solutions used in oral care in preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia in patients on mechanical ventilation support.

This research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. The sample of the study will consist of 105 intubated adult patients hospitalized in the Anesthesia and Reanimation Intensive Care Unit of the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health Aydın Provincial Health Directorate Nazilli State Hospital. Patients will be divided into a total of 5 groups: 4 experimental and 1 control group. The groups to which 1% chlorhexidine gluconate, sodium bicarbonate, ozonated water and hypochlorous acid solutions are applied will constitute the experimental group, and the patients who receive oral care with 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate, which is routinely applied in the clinic, will constitute the control group. Patients will be given oral care by the nurse with determined solutions (chlorhexidine gluconate, sodium bicarbonate, ozonated water and hypochlorous acid) 4 times a day according to the oral care protocol, and the oral mucosa of all patient groups will be evaluated every morning for 7 days. A deep tracheal aspirate sample will be taken and a chest x-ray will be taken on the first and seventh days after hospitalization of intubated patients. The development of VAP in patients will be evaluated with the clinical pulmonary infection score.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Ventilator associated pneumonia

    We will used the commonly used clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS), which includes temperature, leucocyte count and morphology, amount of tracheal secretions and their character, alveolar oxygen pressure (PaO2)/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ratio, findings of pulmonary infiltration and progression on chest X-ray, and growth of any pathogenic bacterial growth from the tracheal aspirate. Whereas the CPIS score of >6 or 6 suggests VAP.

    Measured: one week

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sercan OZDEMİR (+905438169496, sercanoz15@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ventilator associated pneumonia (time frame: one week). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
