0.12% Chlorhexidine Oral Care for the Prevention of Non-ventilator Hospital-acquired Pneumonia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Chlorhexidine is a effective strategy in reducing ventilator associated pneumonia. However, it is unclear if prophylactic 0.12% chlorhexidine oral rinse can reduce the risk of non-ventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia among hospitalized patients.

Detailed Description
Participants will be classified into three groups, applied twice a day by care givers. Oral colonization will be tested in the baseline, day-3, day-7, and at the discharge. Quantitation of colonization of the oral cavity by oral rinses and respiratory pathogens were measured.
