Frequent Standardized Oral Care Using Human Milk in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Ventilator Associated Pneumonia, Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, Respiratory Disease
In brief
Premature infants are susceptible to complications related to infrequent and non-standardized oral care. Although the benefits of frequent standardized oral care are known to reduce oral dysbiosis (increased level of potentially pathogenic bacteria) and its associated complications in critically ill adults leading to established evidence-based guidelines, no such information exists for VLBW infants. The proposed study will prospectively follow 168 VLBW infants for 4 weeks following birth.
