Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aims of this study were:

1. Observation of dynamics in oral microbiota and its association with the incidence of HAIs and VAP in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients in an ICU setting
2. Evaluation of the incidence of HAIs and VAP and their association with oral bacteriobiota in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients in an ICU setting
3. Assessment of impact of different oral hygienic procedures on oral microbiota, the incidence of HAI and patients' safety in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients in an ICU setting approaches to oral care in an ICU setting

Intervention of oral hygienic procedures implemented in study:

Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the oral care procedure:

1. Standard oral procedure (cleaning and moisturizing of oral cavity, suction of excess fluid)
2. Extended oral procedure (cleaning and moisturizing of oral cavity, teeth brushing, suction of excess fluid)

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the oral care procedure:

1. Standard oral procedure (cleaning and moisturizing of oral cavity, suction of excess fluid)
2. Extended oral procedure (cleaning and moisturizing of oral cavity, teeth brushing, suction of excess fluid) The procedures were performed twice daily in each patient. The detailed information on these procedures is included in the Appendix 1. The allocation protocol was based on patients' location in the ward. Each room was assigned with one type procedure (standard- even number or extended - uneven number of room), that was permanent during the study period.

Participants

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard oral procedure

Standard mouth cleaning protocol (without brushing) included:

1. Preparation of sterile catheter (12F lub 14F), suction of excess fluid from the oral cavity.
2. Using Sage Suction Swab (Toothette®), soaking in Perox-A-Mint Solution and cleaning with circular movements of each mucosal site for 10 seconds:

1. Right cheek mucosa and right upper quadrant
2. Left cheek mucosa and left upper quadrant
3. Left lower buccal quadrant
4. Right lower buccal quadrant
3. Moisturizing with Mouth Moisturizer /firma/ of oral cavity mucosa, tongue and lips.
4. Repeated suction of excess fluid from the oral cavity.

Extended oral procedure

Extended mouth cleaning protocol (with brushing) included:

2. Left cheek mucosa and left upper quadrant
3. Left lower buccal quadrant
4. Right lower buccal quadrant
4. Moisturizing with Mouth Moisturizer of oral cavity mucosa, tongue and lips.
5. Repeated suction of excess fluid from the oral cavity.
