Systematic Literature Review of Oral Hygiene Practices for Intensive Care Patients Receiving Mechanical Ventilation
TL;DR: The peer-reviewed literature was appraised to determine the best available evidence for providing oral care to intensive care patients receiving mechanical ventilation and to document a research agenda for this important activity in optimizing patients' outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond comfort: Oral hygiene as a critical nursing activity in the intensive care unit
TL;DR: This paper identifies barriers to effective oral hygiene and subsequent effectiveness of the most commonly used and recommended methods of providing oral hygiene in the critically ill population and identifies recommendations for practice and future intervention studies.

TL;DR: A standardized oral hygiene protocol which includes the use of mechanical cleaning with a toothbrush may be a factor in the reduction of colonization of dental plaque with respiratory pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consensus based clinical guideline for oral hygiene in the critically ill.
TL;DR: Oropharyngeal colonisation has been identified as a factor contributing to ventilator associated pneumonia in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and a standardised approach has the potential to improve clinical outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of Listerine® and sodium bicarbonate oral cleansing solutions on dental plaque colonisation and incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia in mechanically ventilated patients: a randomised control trial.
TL;DR: Compared to the control group, Listerine(®) or sodium bicarbonate oral rinses were not more effective in the reduction of colonisation of dental plaque or the incidence of VAP.
