Application of flushing 0.1% chlorhexidine oral care in patients with tracheal intubation

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of 0.1% chlorhexidine oral rinse in patients with tracheal intubation.Methods 120 patients with tracheal intubation were randomly divided into 2 groups,60 cases in each group,control group was given saline gauze oral scrubbing,observation group used 0.1 chlorhexidine oral rinse mouth swabs.The oral bacteria colonization and VAP complications of the two groups were compared.Results The sputum bacteria culture positive rate in observation group decreased by 16.67%; the positive rate of sputum culture reduced by28.3; VAP risk reduced by 28.33.The incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia was significantly lower than that of control group( P 0.05).Conclusion 0.1% chlorhexidine oral rinse can reduce the risk of VAP and other complication of the patients with tracheal intubation,and can improve the prognosis.
