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.

Conditions

• Ventilator Associated Pneumonia
• Tracheobronchitis
