Strategies To Prevent Pneumonia 2 (SToPP2)

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Infections, Hospital, Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia, Mechanical Ventilation Complication

In brief

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.
