Abstract
In the nursing of patients with critical illness, the oral health of patients will be seriously affected because it is difficult for patients to complete oral care independently. Various microbial pathogens are deposited in patient biofilms as well as in oral secretions and are continuously transmitted. Under the condition of positive pressure ventilation, these pathogenic bacteria will enter the lower respiratory tract of patients, leading to nosocomial pneumonia infection in patients. This will not only significantly prolong the ICU stay time of patients, but also increase the mortality rate of patients. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the oral care of patients to reduce the number of bacteria in the patient's pharynx. This is one of the important methods to prevent nosocomial pneumonia infection in patients. For this reason, this article studies the clinical progress of oral care for patients with critical illness, in order to provide some reference for relevant personnel.
期刊介绍:
The Australian Journal of Advanced Nursing publishes a wide variety of original research, review articles, practice guidelines, and commentary relevant to nursing and midwifery practice, health- maternity- and aged- care delivery, public health, healthcare policy and funding, nursing and midwifery education, regulation, management, economics, ethics, and research methodology. Further, the journal publishes personal narratives that convey the art and spirit of nursing and midwifery.
As the official peer-reviewed journal of the ANMF, AJAN is dedicated to publishing and showcasing scholarly material of principal relevance to national nursing and midwifery professional, clinical, research, education, management, and policy audiences. Beyond AJAN’s primarily national focus, manuscripts with regional and international scope are also welcome where their contribution to knowledge and debate on key issues for nursing, midwifery, and healthcare more broadly are significant.
