Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using the Swiftsure Complete Care System (CCS) device as an adjunct to standard oral care procedures among intubated adult patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU).

This is a small study intended to gather initial feasibility before conducting a larger study. The feasibility of using the Swiftsure CSS device will be studied among 20 patients at a single study site.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, non-blinded trial to assess the feasibility of using the Swiftsure CSS device as an adjunct to the standard oral care among intubated adult patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in the ICU.

The CSS intervention will be performed 1 times per subject. The nurse performing the intervention will be asked to complete the study questionnaires after each device use.

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

Single arm study - treatment with the Swiftsure CSS device in addition to standard oral care procedures. Using a measuring scale of 1 to 5, for each patient, whereas 1 is low outcome of standard oral care and using the Swiftcare device, and 5 is best results for using standard oral care and the Swiftcare device.
