This study assessed the overall effect of oral hygiene in patients in an intensive care unit and compared the results when different solutions were used. Forty orally intubated subjects were studied. Ultrafresh (Faulding) was used as mouth care agent for half the subjects and normal saline was used for the other half. The condition of all subjects' mouths was assessed daily while oral endotracheal tubes were in situ. No localised changes occurred in the oral tissues of 72% of subjects and none developed gingivitis or overt oral candidiasis.
本研究评估了重症监护病房患者口腔卫生的总体效果，并比较了使用不同溶液时的结果。对40名经口插管的受试者进行了研究。一半受试者使用Ultrafresh（福尔德ing）作为口腔护理剂，另一半使用生理盐水。在气管内插管在位期间，每天评估所有受试者的口腔状况。72%的受试者口腔组织未出现局部变化，也没有人发生牙龈炎或明显的口腔念珠菌病。
