Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pathogen colonization change
We will examine microbiological analyses ( mini-BAL, oropharyngeal and tracheal secretions)
Oral assessment guide score change
The score ranges from 8 to 24 and higher scores indicating worse oral health
Clinical pulmonary infection score change
The score ranges from 0 to 12 (ventilator-associated pneumonia ≥ 6 )
rate of tracheobronchitis change
Questionary (use the rate of tracheobronchitis categories)

Secondary Outcome Measures

cost effectiveness
We used the decision tree modelling for estimating the cost-effectiveness of antiseptic solutions.
Mortality
rate of mortality

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Ventilator-associated pneumonia and ventilator-associated treakeabronchitis in respiratory tract infections associated with ventilator are common infections in intensive care unit and cause significant morbidity, mortality and health expenditures in nosocomial infections. Adequate and effective oral care by nurses in intensive care patients, possible complications, intensive care unit stay in the intensive care unit and is very important in terms of mortality.
Detailed Description
The aim of this study will (1) evaluate the effect of 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate on ventilator-associated pneumonia, ventilator-associated treakeabronchitis, (2) determine the effect of preventing microorganism colonization, and (3) assess the mortality rate for each patient and the cost-effectiveness in the health expenditures.
