Oral Care Intervention in Mechanically Ventilated Adults
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Pre-intubation CHX and Control for Infections, Hospital and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 314 participants across 1 site.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a serious complication in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients. The intervention tested in this project (swabbing the mouth with chlorhexidine before the endotracheal tube is inserted) could reduce the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia.
