Role of Oral Care in Prevention of Nosocomial Pneumonia Among COPD Patients

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Nosocomial Pneumonia, COPD Exacerbation

In brief

Poor dental hygiene has been linked to respiratory pathogen colonization in ICU patients. Therefore, respiratory pathogens tend to colonize dental plaque and oral mucosa in these populations. Therefore, strategies to eliminate respiratory pathogens from the oral cavity may improve oral hygiene and decrease the development of nosocomial pneumonia.
